Abstract

A motion vector decoding unit derives a motion vector of a prediction block subject to decoding on the basis of a motion vector of a candidate block included in candidate blocks selected from neighboring blocks. The motion compensation prediction unit performs motion compensation prediction using the derived motion vector. In case a motion vector number of a first block and a motion vector number of a second block are identical with each other, the motion vector decoding unit determines whether or not to set the second block as a candidate block in accordance with whether or not a reference index indicating a reference picture that the motion vector of the first block refers to and a reference index indicating a reference picture that the motion vector of the second block refers to are identical with each other.

Claims (18)

1. A moving picture decoding device adapted to decode a bitstream encoded by using motion compensation prediction in units of blocks obtained by partitioning each picture of moving pictures, comprising:

a motion information derivation unit configured to derive a first direction motion vector and a second direction motion vector of a prediction block subject to decoding on a basis of a first direction motion vector and a second direction motion vector of a selected neighboring block selected from spatial neighboring blocks of the prediction block subject to decoding; and

a motion compensation prediction unit configured to generate a predicted value of the prediction block subject to decoding by motion compensation prediction using the first direction motion vector and the second direction motion vector derived by the motion information derivation unit,

wherein the motion information derivation unit is further configured to set a candidate block from the selected neighboring block based on whether:

a first reference index indicating a first reference picture referred to by the first direction motion vector of the prediction block and a second reference index indicating a second reference picture referred to by the first direction motion vector of the selected neighboring block are identical with each other, and

a third reference index indicating a third reference picture referred to by the second direction motion vector of the prediction block and a fourth reference index indicating a fourth reference picture referred to by the second direction motion vector of the selected neighboring block are identical with each other.

2. A moving picture decoding method adapted to decode a bitstream encoded by using motion compensation prediction in units of blocks obtained by partitioning each picture of moving pictures, comprising:

deriving a first direction motion vector and a second direction motion vector of a prediction block subject to decoding on a basis of a first direction motion vector and a second direction motion vector of a selected neighboring block selected from spatial neighboring blocks of the prediction block subject to decoding; and

generating a predicted value of the prediction block subject to decoding by motion compensation prediction using the first direction motion vector and the second direction motion vector,

wherein the deriving includes setting a candidate block from the selected neighboring block based on whether:

a first reference index indicating a first reference picture referred to by the first direction motion vector of the prediction block and a second reference index indicating a second reference picture referred to by the first direction motion vector of the selected neighboring block are identical with each other, and

a third reference index indicating a third reference picture referred to by the second direction motion vector of the prediction block and a fourth reference index indicating a fourth reference picture referred to by the second direction motion vector of the selected neighboring block are identical with each other.

3. A non-transitory recording medium having embodied thereon a moving picture decoding program executable by a computer and adapted to decode a bitstream encoded by using motion compensation prediction in units of blocks obtained by partitioning each picture of moving pictures, the program comprising:

a deriving module configured to derive a first direction motion vector and a second direction motion vector of a prediction block subject to decoding on a basis of a first direction motion vector and a second direction motion vector of a selected neighboring block selected from spatial neighboring blocks of the prediction block subject to decoding; and

a generating module configured to generate a predicted value of the prediction block subject to decoding by motion compensation prediction using the first direction motion vector and the second direction motion vector,

wherein the deriving module sets a candidate block from the selected neighboring block based on whether:

a first reference index indicating a first reference picture referred to by the first direction motion vector of the prediction block and a second reference index indicating a second reference picture referred to by the first direction motion vector of the selected neighboring block are identical with each other, and
