This encoding method includes an index generation step and an encoding step. In the index generation step: a first index indicating combinations including at least one reference image browsed by a first reference image, and a second index indicating combinations including at least one reference image browsed by a second reference image are set; the numbers for the at least one reference image included in the first index and the numbers for the at least one reference image included in the second index are scanned in a predetermined order; and a common index rearranged into a combination not containing the same reference image is generated. In the encoding step, the common index is encoded. |
