Abstract

A merging motion information candidate generation unit derives, when information indicating whether or not to derive a merging motion information candidate shared for all prediction blocks in a coding block is information indicating the derivation of a merging motion information candidate shared for all the prediction blocks in the coding block, a plurality of merging motion information candidates shared for all the prediction blocks in the coding block. A merging motion information selection unit selects one merging motion information candidate from the plurality of merging motion information candidates and uses the selected merging motion information candidate in a prediction block subject to coding.

Claims (13)

1. A moving picture decoding device adapted to decode a decoding block consisting of two prediction blocks, comprising:

a decoding unit configured to decode, from a bitstream in which an index for specifying a merging motion information candidate used in a prediction block subject to decoding is coded as a candidate specifying index, the candidate specifying index, and information for indicating whether or not to define only one predetermined threshold size;

a merging motion information candidate list generation unit configured to generate a merging motion information candidate list for all the prediction blocks in the decoding block using candidate blocks not neighboring the prediction blocks but neighboring the decoding block, when the size of the decoding block is smaller than the threshold size;

a merging motion information selection unit configured to select one merging motion information candidate from a plurality of merging motion information candidates based on the candidate specifying index and to use the selected merging motion information candidate in the prediction block subject to decoding; and

a processing unit including the decoding unit, the merging motion information candidate list generation unit, and the merging motion information selection unit.

2. A moving picture decoding method for decoding a decoding block consisting of two prediction blocks, comprising:

decoding, from a bitstream in which an index for specifying a merging motion information candidate used in a prediction block subject to decoding is coded as a candidate specifying index, the candidate specifying index, and information for indicating whether or not to define only one predetermined threshold size;

generating a merging motion information candidate list for all the prediction blocks in the decoding block using candidate blocks not neighboring the prediction blocks but neighboring the decoding block, when the size of the decoding block is smaller than the threshold size; and

selecting one merging motion information candidate from a plurality of merging motion information candidates based on the candidate specifying index and using the selected merging motion information candidate in the prediction block subject to decoding.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a moving picture decoding program adapted to decode a decoding block consisting of two prediction blocks, the moving picture decoding program comprising:

a decoding module configured to decode, from a bitstream in which an index for specifying a merging motion information candidate used in a prediction block subject to decoding is coded as a candidate specifying index, the candidate specifying index, and information for indicating whether or not to define only one predetermined threshold size;

a merging motion information candidate list generation module configured to generate a merging motion information candidate list for all the prediction blocks in the decoding block using candidate blocks not neighboring the prediction blocks but neighboring the decoding block, when the size of the decoding block is smaller than the threshold size; and

a merging motion information selection module configured to select one merging motion information candidate from a plurality of merging motion information candidates based on the candidate specifying index and to use the selected merging motion information candidate in the prediction block subject to decoding.
