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 3):
The image decoding apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:\n apply a low-pass filter to the difference image; generate a first image based on the application of the low-pass filter; apply a high-pass filter to the first image; generate a second image based on the application of the high-pass filter; and filter the at least one motion compensation image based on the first image and the second image.
