A deblocking filter of an image processing device is provided. The deblocking filter is used in an image coding process, for deblocking a block edge between a first coding block and a second coding block of an image. The first block has SA samples perpendicular to the block edge by N samples parallel to the block edge, and the second block has SB samples perpendicular to the block edge by N samples parallel to the block edge. No more than IA samples of the first coding block are used as first filter input values, and no more than IB samples of the second coding block are used as second filter input values. No more than MA samples of the first coding block are modified as first filter output values, and no more than MB samples of the second coding block are modified as second filter output values.
