Abstract: An encoder according to one aspect of the present disclosure encodes a block of an image, and includes a processor and memory connected to the processor. Using the memory, the processor partitions a block into a plurality of sub blocks and encodes a sub block included in the plurality of sub blocks in an encoding process including at least a transform process or a prediction process. The block is partitioned using a multiple partition including at least three odd-numbered child nodes and each of a width and a height of each of the plurality of sub blocks is a power of two.

Abstract: A decoder comprises circuitry and memory. The circuitry, using the memory, in operation, determines a number of first pixels and a number of second pixels used in a deblocking filter process, wherein the first pixels are located at an upper side of a block boundary and the second pixels are located at a lower side of the block boundary, and performs the deblocking filter process on the block boundary. The number of the first pixels and the number of the second pixels are selected from among candidates, wherein the candidates include at least 4 and M larger than 4. Response to a location of the block boundary being a predetermined location, the number of the first pixels used in the deblocking filter process is limited to be 4.

Abstract: An image encoder/decoder includes circuitry and a memory coupled to the circuitry. When a geometry of a block of a picture satisfies a first condition, the circuitry splits the block of the picture into sub blocks having a first set of geometries. When the geometry of the block does not satisfy the first condition, the circuitry splits the block of the picture into sub blocks having a second set of geometries, the second set of geometries being different from the first set of geometries. The circuitry encodes/decodes the sub blocks of the block.
