Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing device and an image processing method that enable simplification of processing. When matrix-based intra prediction that is intra prediction using a matrix operation is performed on a current prediction block to be encoded or decoded, matrix-based intra prediction is performed using a coefficient related to a sum of change amounts of pixel values and set to a fixed value, and a predicted image of the current prediction block is generated. Then, the current prediction block is encoded or decoded using the predicted image. The present technology can be applied, for example, in a case of encoding and decoding an image.

Abstract: A user input obtainer receives an image movement instruction including identification information specifying a position shift or an image capture time shift to be performed and also including a displacement amount. When the identification information specifies the position shift, a slice position selector determines a tomographic image at a destination of the position shift based on the displacement amount from a set of tomographic images captured at the same time. On the other hand, when the identification information specifies the image capture time shift, the image capture time selector determines a tomographic image at a destination of the shift based on the displacement amount from sets of tomographic images that are identical to each other in terms of a patient, an examination portion, and a modality. A displaying image obtainer reads out the determined tomographic image from an image storage device and gives it to a display information generator.
