Image processing apparatus and image processing method capable of reducing an increase in coding distortion due to sharpening

摘要

According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a decoder, an acquisition module, a sharpening module, and a controller. The decoder decodes an encoded image to obtain a decoded image. The acquisition module acquires quantization information indicating the accuracy of quantization upon generating the encoded image. The sharpening module performs sharpening on the decoded image. The controller controls the effect of the sharpening based on the quantization information such that the effect of the sharpening is reduced as the accuracy decreases.
