Abstract:
1. An image prediction encoding device comprising: a region division means for dividing an input image into a plurality of regions; a motion estimation means for searching for, from an already reproduced signal of a first reproduction picture, a signal having high correlation with a target pixel signal of a target region to be processed in the plurality of regions divided by the region division means, and detects motion information for indicating the searched signal; a prediction signal production means for producing a prediction signal with respect to the target pixel signal of the target region; a residual signal production means for producing a residual signal indicating a difference between the prediction signal produced by the prediction signal production means and the target pixel signal; and an encoding means for encoding the residual signal produced by the residual signal production means and the motion information detected by the motion estimation means, wherein the prediction signal production means includes:
