Abstract:
1. An image decoding device into which a coded bit stream generated by a coding device comprising integer type wavelet conversion means and/or fixed-point type wavelet conversion means is inputted, the image decoding device comprising: wavelet reverse conversion means; gain adjustment means for a high-band component coefficient; a bit-shifter; and means for detecting whether wavelet conversion performed by the coding device is of an integer type or a fixed-point type, from the inputted coded bit stream, wherein if the wavelet conversion is of the integer type, a decoded image is outputted without performing gain adjustment of the high-band component coefficient or a bit shift after the wavelet reverse conversion, or if the wavelet conversion is of the fixed-point type, the gain adjustment of the high-band component coefficient and the bit shift after the wavelet reverse conversion are carried out, to output a decoded image.
