The inverse orthogonal transformation section 64 switches the operation of an inverse orthogonal transformation on the basis of the parameters supplied from the entropy decoding section 62. In case the data supplied from the dequantization section 63 are data of a TU not in the transformation skip mode, the inverse orthogonal transformation section 64 performs an inverse orthogonal transformation according to a process corresponding to the orthogonal transformation process of the orthogonal transformation section 23 illustrated in
The operator 65 is supplied with predicted image data from the intra-predicting section 73 or the motion compensating section 74. The operator 65 adds the decoded residual data and the predicted image data to each other, obtaining decoded image data corresponding to the original image data before the predicted image data are subtracted therefrom by the operator 22 of the image coding apparatus 10. The operator 65 outputs the decoded image data to the deblocking filter 66.
