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 an index from a bitstream, the index is specifying a merging motion information candidate used in a prediction block subject to decoding;

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

a merging motion information selection unit configured to select one merging motion information candidate from the merging motion information candidate list based on the index; 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 adapted to decode a decoding block consisting of two prediction blocks, comprising:

decoding an index from a bitstream, the index is specifying a merging motion information candidate used in a prediction block subject to decoding;

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

selecting one merging motion information candidate from the merging motion information candidate list based on the index.

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 causing a computer to execute:

decoding an index from a bitstream, the index is specifying a merging motion information candidate used in a prediction block subject to decoding;

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

selecting one merging motion information candidate from the merging motion information candidate list based on the index.
