PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stereoscopic video encoding device and method capable of reducing hindrance to a correct stereoscopic effect even when bit rate for coding is not enough.SOLUTION: A device which encodes stereoscopic video including right-eye images and left-eye images includes: an encoding part which performs in-screen encoding in which a predictive image is generated using pixel values adjoining a block to be encoded and already having been encoded and differences between pixel values of the block to be encoded and the predictive image are encoded, and an in-screen prediction mode selection part which selects one of a plurality of available prediction modes for in-screen encoding. The in-screen prediction mode selection part selects a prediction mode on the basis of prediction mode coefficients set for the respective prediction modes, and weights prediction mode coefficients such that a prediction mode coefficient for a prediction mode in which a predictive image is generated using horizontally adjacent pixels of the blocks to be encoded is less selected than prediction mode coefficients for other prediction modes. |
