Moving picture coding device and moving picture coding method

A moving picture coding method for coding a plurality of pictures obtained by capturing an object, said moving picture coding method comprising:

• acquiring luminance information which indicates a luminance level of light in an environment where the object is captured;
• and
• coding the pictures, using a prediction coding method in which a picture type is applied in the coding of the pictures according to a flicker state of the light obtained from the luminance information.

A moving picture coding program for coding a plurality of pictures obtained by capturing an object, said moving picture coding program causing a computer to execute:

• acquiring luminance information which indicates a luminance level of light in an environment where the object is captured;
• and
• coding the pictures, using a prediction coding method in which a picture type is applied in the coding of the pictures according to a flicker state of the light obtained from the luminance information.

A moving picture coding integrated circuit which codes a plurality of pictures obtained by capturing an object, said moving picture coding integrated circuit comprising:
