<p>The present invention provides an image encoding method and an image decoding method which can, during decoding, restore a sense of high-definition to an area of an input image originally having a high-definition component that was lost during encoding. An additional information generation unit 102 of an image encoding apparatus determines a position where the high-definition component is restored to, and includes: a superposed position determination unit 201 which outputs position information PS indicating a determined position; a superposed component determination unit 202 which determines a high-definition component to restore and outputs high-definition component information OC indicating the determined high-definition component; a superposed parameter determination unit 203 which outputs a parameter OP for superposing the high-definition component; and a bitstream generation unit 204 which performs variable-length coding, as necessary, on the position information PS, high-definition component information OC, and parameter OP, and outputs this as additional information AI.</p> |
