摘要

A video image encoding method including: a corresponding block specification step (S100) that specifies a corresponding block that corresponds to a target block; a reference image specification step (S112) that specifies, as a second reference image, an image belonging to a second viewpoint that corresponds to a first reference image that has been used to encode the corresponding block, when the target block and the corresponding block have the same time (S108); a predicted motion vector determination step (S110) that sets the motion vector of the corresponding block as the predicted motion vector; a motion vector determination step (S118) that determines the motion vector of the target block; a motion vector specification information generating step (S122) that generates motion vector specification information that specifies motion vectors; and encoding steps (S118, S124) that generate an encoding stream including encoding block and motion vector specification information.
