IMAGE DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

This invention includes a video encoding unit (101 - 112) which creates a video code stream (137) by encoding an input video signal (131) by using a reference picture signal (141), a reference picture encoding unit (113 - 115) which creates a reference picture code stream (147) by encoding a reference picture signal (141), and a multiplexing unit (117) which creates an output code stream (149) by multiplexing the video code stream (137) and reference picture code stream (147). <IMAGE>
