Abstract: A processor obtains pieces of coded data, which are included in a bitstream and generated by coding tiles, and tile boundary independence information, which indicates whether each boundary between the tiles is a first or second boundary. Image data of a first tile is generated by decoding a first code string included in first coded data with reference to decoding information of a decoded tile when the tile boundary independence information indicates the first boundary, and by decoding the first code string without referring to the decoding information when the tile boundary independence information indicates the second boundary. A bit string is added after the first code string to make a bit length of first coded data a multiple of a predetermined N bits, with N being an integer greater than or equal to 2.

Abstract: Circuity for executing operations is provided. The operations divide a picture into tiles. The tiles are coded to generate pieces of coded data, each of which corresponds to a different one of the tiles. A bitstream is generated to include the pieces of coded data. In this regard, the coding of the tiles includes generating a first code string by: coding a first tile with reference to coding information of an already-coded tile neighboring the first tile when a boundary between the first and already-coded tiles is a first boundary; and coding the first tile without reference to the coding information of the already-coded tile when the boundary between the first and already-coded tiles is a second boundary. The bitstream is generated to include tile boundary independence information, which indicates whether each boundary between the tiles is one of the first and second boundaries.
