Abstract
The image encoding apparatus encodes while predicting an image between different views using a reference image encoded for a view different from a processing target image, and a reference depth map for an object of the reference image when a multiview image of plural different views is encoded. A view-synthesized image is generated for the entire encoding target image using the reference image and the reference depth map. A setting section sets whether to perform prediction for each of encoding target blocks into which the encoding target image is divided, or to perform prediction using the view-synthesized image for the entire encoding target image. Information is encoded to indicate the prediction unit. An encoding section performs predictive encoding on the encoding target image for every encoding target block, while selecting a predicted image generation method when the prediction for every encoding target block as the prediction unit has been selected.
