A displacement vector detection unit searches for a signal with high correlation with an encoding target block using a locally-decoded image in an already encoded block so as to calculate, using a signal with the highest correlation as a displacement prediction signal, a displacement vector. A reduced-image displacement vector detection unit searches for a signal with high correlation with the encoding target block using a signal resulting from performing reduction at least either horizontally or vertically for the locally-decoded image in an already encoded block so as to obtain, using the signal with the highest correlation as the displacement prediction signal, the displacement vector indicating the displacement in a screen between a reduced encoding target block and a reduction displacement prediction signal. Then a signal with high correlation with the encoding target block from the displacement prediction signal and the reduction displacement prediction signal is selected as a prediction signal.
