Abstract:
1. A moving picture decoding method for decoding a coded moving picture which includes pictures, the method comprising: detecting, from the coded moving picture, a block partition into which a picture is partitioned, the picture including blocks each of which including pixels; determining a scanning scheme from among plural scanning schemes which are used for intra-frame prediction schemes for decoding the blocks; obtaining, from the coded moving picture, a coded block which includes pixels; decoding the coded block; and arranging the decoded block in the picture according to the detected block partition and the determined scanning scheme, wherein the picture is partitioned into rows and columns of macroblocks each of which is partitioned into rows and columns of blocks, in the determining, the scanning scheme is determined according to a scanning scheme identifier included in the coded moving picture, and the plural scanning schemes include a first scanning scheme for scanning the blocks in horizontally adjacent macroblocks per row of blocks and beyond a border of the adjacent macroblocks.
