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 14):
The image decoding method according to  claim 8 , further comprising generating the prediction image by addition of the at least one motion compensation image subjected to the filtering process to the first motion compensation image that has the increased resolution.
