<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To use a code number table more efficiently, in an image encoding system where multiple streams are encoded. <P>SOLUTION: The image processing apparatus comprises: a code number table holding the sets of a code number for use in entropy encoding and the index value of a syntax element; a first conversion unit for converting a first code number associated with a code word included in the encoded stream of a first picture out of two or more pictures corresponding to a common scene into a first index value with reference to the code number table; and a second conversion unit for converting a second code number associated with a code word included in the encoded stream of a second picture out of the two or more pictures with reference to the code number table. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
