US Patent 12075042 Encoder, decoder, encoding method, and decoding method

An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. In operation, the circuitry: encodes information for deriving a parameter into a header of a bitstream; filters reconstructed samples in a first image using a filtering process, to generate a second image; determines whether the parameter has a predefined value; encodes a third image using the second image when the parameter has the predefined value; and encodes the third image using the first image when the parameter does not have the predefined value.
