Abstract:
1. A moving image coding apparatus in accordance with H.264/AVC, comprising: a determining unit to determine whether a picture is to be coded with POC type 1; a setting unit to set a value of num_ref_frames_in_pic_order_cnt_cycle field to a divisor of MaxFrameNum, wherein the value is included in a sequence parameter set specified in H.264/AVC; and a coding unit to code image data, wherein if it is determined the picture is to be coded with POC type 1 in said determining unit the setting unit sets the value and the coding unit codes the image data, wherein POC indicates a picture order count, wherein MaxFrameNum indicates a maximum frame number, wherein num_ref_frames_in_pic_order_cnt_cycle indicates a number of reference frames in a picture order count cycle.
