Abstract: Since time hierarchically encoded video data needs to include video data of a basic hierarchical layer, and video data cannot be generated in which a frame belonging to an upper hierarchical layer is only encoded, even in a case in which only a part of frames is processed, a basic hierarchical layer frame is needed to be included, and thus, there has been a problem that video data in which only the frame belonging to the upper hierarchical layer is encoded cannot be separately processed. In the present invention, a variable length encoding unit is disposed which encodes, for each sequence, a basic hierarchical layer existence flag showing whether or not a basic hierarchical layer is included in the sequence.

Abstract: A motion-compensated prediction unit 6 is configured in such a way as to, when the coding unit of a coding target picture differs from that of a reference picture, correct a reference vector held by a reference picture and derive a prediction vector from the corrected reference vector. As a result, application to the HEVC can be achieved even when the encoding based on a per frame basis and the encoding based on a per field basis coexist.
