<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce overhead in units of macro block. <P>SOLUTION: On the basis of the bit rate of encoded data, a number of reference picture determination unit 19 determines the number of fields of the reference picture in the encoding to be 1. When the number of fields of the reference picture is determined to be 1, a slice header generation unit 13 determines, as the reference picture, one of the pictures input from a picture rearrangement buffer 12. This invention can be applied to an encoding device which performs encoding of AVC system, for example. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
