View Patent ↗A moving picture coding apparatus includes an intra-inter prediction unit which calculates a second motion vector by performing a scaling process on a first motion vector of a temporally neighboring corresponding block, when selectively adding, to a list, a motion vector of each of one or more corresponding blocks each of which is either a block included in a current picture to be coded and spatially neighboring a current block to be coded or a block included in a picture other than the current picture and temporally neighboring the current block, determines whether the second motion vector has a magnitude that is within a predetermined magnitude or not within the predetermined magnitude, and adds the second motion vector to the list when the intra-inter prediction unit determines that the second motion vector has a magnitude that is within the predetermined magnitude range.

selectively adding, to a list, a motion vector of each of one or more reference blocks of a current block each of which is (i) a neighboring block spatially adjacent to the current block and included in a current picture or (ii) a collocated block included in a picture other than the current picture;
selecting a motion vector used for decoding the current block from the list; and
decoding the current block using the selected motion vector,

calculating a second motion vector by scaling a first motion vector of the collocated block;
determining whether a magnitude of the second motion vector is within a predetermined fixed magnitude range or not;
adding the second motion vector to the list as the motion vector of the collocated block when the magnitude of the second motion vector is within the fixed magnitude range; and
adding a third motion vector to the list as the motion vector of the collocated block when the magnitude of the second motion vector is not within the fixed magnitude range, the third motion vector being generated by clipping the second motion vector to have a magnitude within the fixed magnitude range,
the fixed magnitude range is determined based on a bit precision of a motion vector, and
the bit precision is 16 bits.
