Abstract

An image decoding apparatus for decoding a bit stream includes a receiving unit that receives the bit stream and a weight parameter that is added to a luma quantization parameter. The image decoding apparatus also includes a decoding unit that decodes the bit stream and generates a chroma component of quantized coefficients. Further, the image decoding apparatus includes a dequantization unit that performs dequantization on the chroma component of quantized coefficients using a chroma quantization parameter calculated on the basis of a luma quantization parameter weighted by the weight parameter. In addition, the image decoding apparatus includes a transform unit that performs an inverse orthogonal transform.
