Abstract

Even in a case in which a color format is a format other than 4:2:0, an image coding device and an image decoding device capable of accurately locating a reference pixel position in inter-layer image prediction are realized. A hierarchical moving image decoding device ( 1 ) includes a parameter set decoding section ( 12 ) that decodes a scaled reference layer offset syntax that is coded in a chroma pixel unit and a predicted image generation section ( 1442 ) that derives a scale based on a scaled reference layer offset which is a product of the scaled reference layer offset syntax and a luminance chroma size ratio of a target layer picture and generates a predicted image.
