Abstract

In an image decoding device ( 200 ) according to the present invention, a blending unit ( 243 ) blends, in a case where all of a geometric partitioning mode, overlapped block motion compensation, and luma mapping with chroma scaling are valid for a current block, and the geometric partitioning mode includes inter prediction and intra prediction, luma-mapped luma components of the motion compensation sample, the overlapped block motion compensation sample, and the intra prediction sample to generate a prediction sample for a luma component of the current block.
