PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve coding efficiency or to realize reduction in the amount of calculation.SOLUTION: An image decoding method comprises a step (S201) of obtaining buffer description definition information from an encoded bit stream, a step (S202) of generating an initial setting reference list, a step (S203) of obtaining reference list rearrangement information from the encoded bit stream, a step (S204) of rearranging the order of the pictures included in the initial setting reference list according to the reference list rearrangement information, and a step (S205) of decoding a picture or a slice to be processed using the buffer description and the reference list obtained by the rearrangement processing. The buffer description includes buffer elements, each of which designates one picture and is associated with a buffer element index. The index is a buffer element index.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 27 |
