Abstract:
1. A moving picture decoding apparatus for decoding a compression-coded moving picture stream, comprising: an inter-view predicting module configured to perform an inter-view prediction processing on processing subject blocks of each frame to be decoded, the inter-view prediction processing includes a first inter-view prediction processing in which both of a vertical component and a horizontal component of an inter-view vector is processed with a first precision; and a second inter-view prediction processing in which the vertical component of the inter-view vector is processed with a second precision while the horizontal component thereof is processed with the first precision, the first precision being to a higher precision than the second precision; a load detector configured to detect an apparatus processing load; a judging module configured to judge whether the detected apparatus processing load is smaller than a given value; and a controller configured to control the inter-view predicting module to perform the first inter-view prediction processing if the judging module judges that the apparatus processing load is smaller than the given value, and to perform the second inter-view prediction processing if the judging module judges that the apparatus processing load is not smaller than the given value.
