An encoding device comprises: a transformer/quantizer configured to perform a transform process and a quantization process on a residual signal that represents a difference between an encoding-target block and a prediction block obtained by predicting the encoding-target block; an inverse quantizer/inverse transformer configured to restore the residual signal by performing an inverse quantization process and an inverse transform process on transform coefficients obtained by the transformer/quantizer; a combiner configured to reconstruct the encoding-target block by combining the restored residual signal and the prediction block; a deblocking filter configured to perform a filter process on a boundary between two blocks including the reconstructed block and a block adjacent to the reconstructed block; and a filter controller configured to control the deblocking filter, based on a type of the transform process applied with respect to the two blocks.

A method provides for encoding a frame of video using an edge map made up of one or more edge-blocks detected in the frame. When the edge-blocks are contiguous, at least one slice partition is formed using the edge-blocks and the slice partition is encoded using a sample adaptive offset (SAO) filter, wherein the slice partition is formed with an adaptive slice width, and the sample adaptive offset (SAO) filter is turned on or off during the encoding based on whether the edge-blocks are being encoded. When the edge-blocks are not contiguous, edge-block processing is performed around edges in the frame during encoding of the edge-blocks. The edge-block processing involves configuring one or more of: an intra block size, a transform block size, an inter prediction block size, a quantization parameter, candidate modes for intra prediction, pyramid level for motion estimation, and fractional pixel motion estimation search.
