Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and method that can improve encoding efficiency while preventing an increase in load. An extraction circuit  71  of a filtering prediction circuit  64  extracts motion compensation images for generating a prediction image in a high-resolution enhancement layer from reference frames in a low-resolution base layer. A filtering circuit  72  of the filtering prediction circuit  64  performs filtering, which involves upconversion and which uses analysis in the time direction, on a plurality of motion compensation images in the base layer extracted by the extraction circuit  71  to generate a prediction image in the enhancement layer. The present invention can be applied to, for example, an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus.

Claim (Index 12):
The image decoding method according to  claim 8 , further comprising increasing a resolution of the difference image.
