Abstract
An image coding method includes: adding, to a candidate list, a first adjacent motion vector as a candidate for a predicted motion vector to be used for coding the current motion vector; selecting the predicted motion vector from the candidate list; and coding the current motion vector, wherein in the adding, the first adjacent motion vector indicating a position in a first reference picture included in a first reference picture list is added to the candidate list for the current motion vector indicating a position in a second reference picture included in a second reference picture list.
Claims3
A non-transitory recording medium including a program, the program causing a processor to execute operations including:
- determining whether or not a second current reference picture for a current block is identical to a second adjacent reference picture for an adjacent block adjacent to the current block, the second current reference picture being (i) included in a second reference picture list and (ii) referred to by a second current motion vector, and the second adjacent reference picture being (i) included in a second adjacent reference picture list and (ii) referred to by a second adjacent motion vector;
- when the second current reference picture is determined to not be identical to the second adjacent reference picture, (A) determining whether or not the second current reference picture is identical to a first adjacent reference picture for the adjacent block, the first adjacent reference picture being (i) included in a first adjacent reference picture list and (ii) referred to by a first adjacent motion vector, and (B) when the second current reference picture is determined to be identical to the first adjacent reference picture, adding the first adjacent motion vector to a candidate list for the second current motion vector;
- selecting a predicted motion vector to be used for coding the second current motion vector from the candidate list for the second current motion vector;
- and
- coding the second current motion vector using the selected predicted motion vector.
