Abstract
Provided is an image processing device to suppress a drop in encoding efficiency. One of spatial prediction and phase prediction is set as a prediction method for a pixel to be processed in image data generated by a pixel array in which blocks, each including a plurality of pixels adjacent to each other, are arranged in a predetermined pattern. A prediction value for the pixel to be processed is then derived by applying the prediction method set, and a prediction residual obtained by subtracting the prediction value from each of pixel values in the image data is encoded.
