Abstract: Based on a representative depth determined from a depth map corresponding to an object in a multi-viewpoint video, a transformation matrix is determined which transforms a position on an encoding target image, which is one frame of the multi-viewpoint video, into a position on a reference viewpoint image from a reference viewpoint which differs from the viewpoint of the encoding target image. A representative position is determined which belongs to an encoding target region obtained by dividing the encoding target image. A corresponding position which corresponds to the representative position and belongs to the reference viewpoint image is determined by using the representative position and the transformation matrix. Based on the corresponding position, synthesized motion information assigned to the encoding target region is generated from motion information for the reference viewpoint image, and a predicted image for the encoding target region is generated by using the synthesized motion information.
