摘要

A predicted motion vector candidate generating unit (121) generates a plurality of predicted motion vector candidates from a block to be encoded and from a motion vector to an encoded block in the same picture near the block to be encoded, and registers the candidates in a predicted motion vector candidate list. A predicted motion vector candidate number limiting unit (124) limits the number of predicted motion vector candidates in the predicted motion vector candidate list to the maximum number of candidates based on the size of the predicted block. A predicted motion vector selecting unit (126) selects a predicted motion vector from the predicted motion vector candidate list. An encoding unit (109) encodes information indicating an index of predicted motion vectors selected in the predicted motion vector candidate list.
