A picture encoding apparatus includes a feature quantity generation unit and a reference picture list creation unit. The feature quantity generation unit generates feature quantity indicative of dominant one of parallax prediction using reference pictures the viewpoints of which are different from each other and temporal prediction using reference pictures in the temporal direction when a picture is encoded. When an encoding target picture is encoded, the reference picture list creation unit updates a reference picture list including the reference pictures based on the feature quantity generated in a picture which was encoded before the corresponding encoding target picture is encoded. |
