Abstract: A moving image decoding method for deriving a prediction image of a chrominance image by using a luminance image is provided. The method derives a first luminance value and a first chrominance value corresponding to a first position, and derives a second luminance value and a second chrominance value corresponding to a second position. The method further derives a first difference value between the first and second luminance values, and derives a second difference value between the first and second chrominance values. The method sets a shift value to a first threshold based on a comparison between the first threshold and a third value, being calculated by adding a first specified value to a first value, derived by using the first difference value, and then subtracting a second value, derived by using the second difference value, from an addition result, and derives the prediction image by using the shift value.
