Abstract: In a moving picture coding device that codes a moving picture using motion compensation prediction in units of blocks acquired by dividing each picture of the moving picture, a prediction mode determiner derives motion information of a coding target block. A motion compensation predictor changes the derived motion information for the coding target block having a size smaller than or equal to a certain size when the coding target block has the size smaller than or equal to the certain size. The motion compensation predictor constructs a prediction signal of the coding target block through the motion compensation prediction using the derived motion information when the coding target block has a size larger than the certain size or using the changed motion information when the coding target block has the size smaller than or equal to the certain size.

A predictive transmission structure setting unit sets a transmission structure including a basic hierarchy and a supplementary hierarchy. A first transmission unit transmits basic video image coding data of the basic hierarchy. A memory unit stores supplementary video image coding data of the supplementary hierarchy. A second transmission unit transmits the supplementary video image coding data stored in the memory unit. A transmission control unit controls the second transmission unit according to the transmission rate.

Abstract: A prediction information derivation unit derives inter prediction information candidates from inter prediction information of coded prediction blocks neighboring a prediction block subject to coding within the same picture as the prediction block subject to coding and inter prediction information of a prediction block in a coded picture that is different from the prediction block subject to coding. The prediction information derivation unit determines an inter prediction information candidate to be used for inter prediction of the prediction block subject to coding from the inter prediction information candidates that have been derived. A second bitstream generation uni codes an index that indicates the inter prediction information candidate based on the number of the inter prediction information candidates.

A candidate supplementing unit supplements inter-prediction information candidates having the same prediction mode, reference index, and motion vector until the number of inter-prediction information candidates reaches the designated number of candidates when the number of inter-prediction information candidates is smaller than the designated number of candidates.

Abstract: A merging motion information candidate list construction unit generates a merging motion information candidate list, which is a list of merging motion information candidates, using a spatial merging motion information candidate and a temporal merging motion information candidate. A second merging motion information candidate supplying unit generates a new merging motion information candidate including, if a reference index indicates an available reference picture, the reference index and, if the reference index does not indicate an available reference picture, a predetermined reference index along with a motion vector having a size and a direction that are preset and adds the new merging motion information candidate to the merging motion information candidate list. A merging motion information selection unit selects one merging motion information candidate from the merging motion information candidate list to which the new merging motion information candidate has been added.
