<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image encoding apparatus and image encoding method in which compressibility in a division boundary is improved and image quality can also be improved in the image encoding apparatus which divides an input image and performs intra-picture predictive encoding. <P>SOLUTION: In an image encoding apparatus 1 comprising an image divider 20 for dividing an input image into a plurality of images and a plurality of encoders 40 to 42 each provided in accordance with each of the divided images, encoding a divided image inputted from the image divider 20 and comprising a frame memory 58 for storing local decoding information, at least one of the plurality of encoders 40 to 42 performs intra-picture predictive encoding and comprises input buffers 30 to 32 for shifting the start of encoding divided images between the encoder 41 and the encoder 40, and a signal line 60 for connecting the frame memories 58 with each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
