VIDEO ENCODING METHOD, VIDEO ENCODING DEVICE, AND VIDEO ENCODING PROGRAM

摘要

A video encoding device: searches for motion information of a block to be encoded; generates a merge motion information candidate list based on motion information of encoded blocks adjacent to the block to be encoded; eliminates an improper merge index or indexes from the merge motion information candidate list, using the motion information determined as a result of the search for the motion information; and determines a merge mode, using a merge index of merge motion information in the merge motion information candidate list from which the improper merge index has been eliminated.
