<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for efficiently decoding data obtained by encoding profile information of an object. <P>SOLUTION: In an alpha map encoder, alpha map encoded information obtained by encoding alpha map signals in units of a plurality of blocks obtained by dividing a square region set for every frame of the alpha map signal, and label encoded information obtained by encoding label information indicating a label representing whether the pixel assigned to a block includes only the pixel of an object region, only the pixel of a background region or both pixels in the object region and the background region. The alpha map decoder comprises a means for separating each encoded information, a reference block determination means, a prediction value determination means, and a decoding means of alpha map encoded information. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
