<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decode an image in various manners when a part of the image includes a region of interest. <P>SOLUTION: In an image encoding device 100, an ROI setting unit 20 sets an ROI region in the image. An entropy encoding unit 14 entropy-encodes the image. An ROI information encoding unit 24 encodes information for specifying the ROI region. An encoded stream generation unit 16 generates an encoded stream by explicitly including the encoded image and the encoded information. When a plurality of the ROI regions are set in the image, priority thereof may be included in the information. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
