<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further enhance encoding efficiency by utilizing motion correlation between layers of an image to be scalably encoded. <P>SOLUTION: There is provided an image processing apparatus comprising: an information obtaining unit that obtains setting information for setting a motion vector for a second prediction unit within a second layer corresponding to a first prediction unit within a first layer of an image to be scalably decoded that contains the first layer and the second layer, which is higher than the first layer, the setting information being related to a motion vector set for the first prediction unit; and a motion vector setting unit that sets a motion vector for the second prediction unit using the setting information obtained by the information obtaining unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
