Image coding method, image decoding method, image coding apparatus, and image decoding apparatus
An image coding method includes: deriving a candidate for a motion vector predictor from a co-located motion vector; adding the candidate to a list; selecting the motion vector predictor from the list; and coding a current block and coding a current motion vector, wherein the deriving includes: deriving the candidate by a first derivation scheme in the case of determining that each of a current reference picture and a co-located reference picture is a long-term reference picture; and deriving the candidate by a second derivation scheme in the case of determining that each of the current reference picture and the co-located reference picture is a short-term reference picture.
1. A decoding method of decoding each block among blocks of pictures, the decoding method comprising:
deriving a candidate for a motion vector predictor to be used in decoding of a motion vector for a current block to be decoded, from a first motion vector of a first block included in a first picture, the first picture being different from a picture that includes the current block;
adding the derived candidate to a list of candidates;
selecting one motion vector predictor from the list of candidates; and
decoding the motion vector of the current block using the selected motion vector predictor, and decoding the current block using the motion vector and a reference picture of the current block,
wherein the reference picture of the current block is different from the first picture, and
wherein the deriving includes:
determining whether the reference picture of the current block is a long-term reference picture or a short-term reference picture, and whether a first reference picture of the first block is a long-term reference picture or a short-term reference picture;
deriving the candidate from the first motion vector without scaling based on a temporal distance in the case of determining that each of the reference picture of the current block and the first reference picture of the first block is a long-term reference picture; and
deriving the candidate from the first motion vector by scaling based on a temporal distance in the case of determining that each of the reference picture of the current block and the first reference picture of the first block is a short-term reference picture.

wherein the reference picture of the current block is different from the first picture, and
wherein the deriving unit is configured to:
determine whether the reference picture of the current block is a long-term reference picture or a short-term reference picture, and whether a first reference picture of the first block is a long-term reference picture or a short-term reference picture;
