<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image encoding method and image decoding method in which no trouble occurs even when a stream is switched in the middle of decoding. <P>SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a picture coding method for generating a coded signal corresponding to each picture by coding a plurality of image signals, wherein, a switching picture capable of switching a plurality of coded signals and a picture capable of referencing the switching picture after switching picture are only a group of pictures of the same time in the encoded signals. More specifically, when picture numbers are discontinuous before and after an S picture, processing is performed not to handle it as an error. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
