1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a filter configured to perform filter processing in which filtering is performed on a coding unit of a decoded image after a deblocking filter in an encoding process; and
a filter processing controller configured to perform control, according to filter identification information indicating whether, on a coding unit for which a non-compression mode has been set, to skip the filter processing in which the filtering is performed on the coding unit of the decoded image after the deblocking filter, the coding unit being formed by recursively splitting a largest coding unit into smaller coding units as block partitioning and the non-compression mode being an encoding mode in which image data is output as encoded data,
wherein the filter and the filter processing controller are each implemented via at least one processor.
