<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve an improvement of coding efficiency. <P>SOLUTION: A prediction mode sum-up part 155 performs a sum-up processing of an intra-prediction mode corresponding to one slice stored in a prediction mode buffer 154. An IDR detector 151 detects an IDR slice about input image information. A scene change detector 152 performs a detection processing which detects whether a scene change occurred corresponding to the I slice about the input image information which is a processing object. A code number determination part 153 assigns a smaller code number to the prediction mode having a higher frequency of appearance when no IDR is detected in the IDR detector 151 and no scene change is detected in the scene change detector 152. This invention can be applied, for example, to an image processing system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
