Moving image coding apparatus and moving image decoding apparatus

摘要

An apparatus to decode an encoded bit stream obtained by dividing the moving image into a plurality of rectangular regions includes a rectangular region size determination unit for determining a variable size of the regions in a sequence (a set of continuous frames) based on region size information multiplexed in the encoded bit stream. The apparatus includes a decoding unit for decoding coding mode information multiplexed in the encoded bit stream for each of the regions, and a decoding unit. The coding mode information includes (1) prediction type information selected from information indicating either inter or intra prediction coding, and (2) intra prediction block size information indicating a size of a unit region for the intra prediction coding indicated by the prediction type information.
