Abstract

An encoder capable of properly handling an image to be encoded or decoded includes processing circuitry and memory connected to the processing circuitry. Using the memory, the processing circuitry: obtains parameters including at least one of (i) one or more parameters related to a first process for correcting distortion in an image captured with a wide angle lens and (ii) one or more parameters related to a second process for stitching a plurality of images; generates an encoded image by encoding a current image to be processed that is based on the image or the plurality of images; and writes the parameters into a bitstream including the encoded image.

Claims (7)

1 . An encoder, comprising:

processing circuitry; and

memory connected to the processing circuitry,

wherein, using the memory, the processing circuitry:

performs an inter prediction process on a first picture, the first picture including a plurality of regions, wherein

the inter prediction process is performed for each block in the first picture, and

the inter prediction process includes an arrangement process in which a plurality of pixels within the first picture is arranged or rearranged in a way in which an object within neighboring regions among the plurality of regions is continuous.
