Abstract: An image decoding device includes: a motion vector decoding unit that decodes a motion vector from encoded data; a refinement unit that performs refinement processing to correct the decoded motion vector; and a predictive signal generation unit that generates a predictive signal on the basis of the corrected motion vector outputted from the refinement unit. The predictive signal generation unit determines whether or not to apply BDOF processing for each block, on the basis of information calculated in the course of the refinement processing.

Abstract: An image decoding device includes a prediction unit configured to generate a prediction signal included in a prediction block based on a motion vector. The prediction unit is configured to perform refinement processing of setting a search range based on a reference position specified by the motion vector, specifying a corrected reference position having the smallest predetermined cost from the search range, and correcting the motion vector based on the corrected reference position. When a block size of the prediction block is larger than a predetermined block size, the prediction unit is configured to divide the prediction block into sub-block groups and perform the refinement processing for each sub-block.
