Claim:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: circuitry configured to: adjust a strength of a filter for at least one of neighboring blocks adjacent at a block boundary in decoded image data using values selected according to a size of the at least one of neighboring blocks; and apply filtering according to the adjusted strength of the filter, wherein the circuitry is configured to adjust the strength of the filter for the at least one of neighboring blocks based on a first value selected according to the size of the at least one of neighboring blocks as a condition that the at least one of neighboring blocks is a first size, and the circuitry is configured to adjust the strength of the filter for the at least one of neighboring blocks based on a second value that is different from the first value and selected according to the size of the at least one of neighboring blocks as a condition that the at least one of neighboring blocks is a second size that is smaller than the first size.
