Abstract

A hierarchical moving image decoding device ( 1 ) includes an inter-layer reference image list setting section ( 155 ) that derives an inter-layer reference image list and an inter-layer reference image set used in pictures on a specific target layer based on a parameter set of a target layer.

Claims (10)

1. An image decoding device that restores a decoded image of a higher layer using coded data of the higher layer included in coded data that is hierarchically coded, the image decoding device comprising:

a variable-length decoding circuit that decodes a parameter set from the coded data of the higher layer;

a base decoded image buffer that retains a decoded image of a lower layer, wherein a picture display order of the decoded image of the lower layer is as same as a picture display order of a picture of the higher layer derived from the parameter set;

a base control circuit that inputs an image decoded by an external device in the base decoded image buffer; and

an inter-layer image prediction circuit that generates a predicted image through inter-layer prediction using a decoded image of the lower layer.

2. An image coding device that generates coded data of a higher layer from an input image, the image coding device comprising:

a variable-length coding circuit that codes a parameter set included in the coded data of the higher layer;

a base decoded image buffer that retains a decoded image of a lower layer, wherein a picture display order of the decoded image of the lower layer is as same as a picture display order of a picture of the higher layer derived from the parameter set;

a base control circuit that inputs images decoded by an external device in the base decoded image buffer; and

an inter-layer image prediction section that generates a predicted image through inter-layer prediction using a decoded image of the lower layer.
