Abstract

Coding efficiency is improved. A motion compensation filter unit acts on a motion vector applied image obtained by acting a motion vector on a reference image. The motion compensation filter unit causes filter coefficients mcFilter[i][k] designated by a phase i and a filter coefficient position k to act on the motion vector applied image. The filter coefficients mcFilter[i][k] includes filter coefficients calculated by using filter coefficients mcFilter[p][k] (p≠i) and filter coefficients mcFilter[q][k] (q≠i).
