摘要

Provided is an image encoding device that encodes input images using a plurality of reference images, wherein a reference image selection section selects a reference image from the plurality of reference images, a reference image acquisition section acquires two or more reference image blocks on the basis of the correlation between a reference image block that is one region of the reference image selected by the reference image selection section and an image block that is a division of the input image, and a predicted image generation section generates a predicted image by prioritizing and using the reference image block, out of the two or more reference image blocks acquired by the reference image acquisition section, for which the subject distance information represented by the reference image block indicates a shorter distance.
