Claim One:
1. A moving picture decoding device that decodes a bitstream in which a moving picture is coded using motion compensation in units of blocks acquired by dividing each picture of the moving picture, the moving picture decoding device comprising: a decoding unit configured to decode information representing a motion vector predictor to be selected from a motion vector predictor candidate list having a predefined number of motion vector predictor candidates, together with a motion vector difference; a motion vector predictor candidate generating unit configured to derive a plurality of motion vector predictor candidates by making a prediction based on a motion vector of one of decoded blocks that are neighboring to a decoding target block in space or time and construct a motion vector predictor candidate list; a motion vector predictor redundant candidate removing unit configured to compare whether values of vectors are the same among motion vector predictor candidates predicted from a decoded block neighboring in space and remove the motion vector predictor candidates having the same values of vectors from the motion vector predictor candidate list with at least one being left without comparing whether or not a value of vector of a motion vector predictor predicted from a decoded block that is neighboring in space and a value of vector of a motion vector predictor predicted from a decoded block neighboring in time are the same; a motion vector predictor candidate adding unit configured to repeatedly add the motion vector predictor candidates to the motion vector predictor candidates list until the number of motion vector predictor candidates reaches the predefined number if the number of the motion vector predictor candidates in the motion vector predictor candidate list is smaller than the predefined number, whereby the number of the motion vector predictor candidates in the motion vector predictor candidate list reaches the predefined number; a motion vector predictor candidate number limiting unit configured to remove the motion vector predictor candidates exceeding the predefined number from the motion vector predictor candidate list if the number of the motion vector predictor candidates in the motion vector predictor candidate list is greater than the predefined number, whereby the number of the motion vector predictor candidates in the motion vector predictor candidate list is limited to the predefined number; a motion vector predictor selecting unit configured to select a motion vector predictor from the motion vector predictor candidate list based on information representing the decoded motion vector predictor to be selected; and a motion vector calculating unit configured to calculate a motion vector used for motion compensation by adding the selected motion vector predictor and the motion vector difference together, wherein the motion vector predictor candidate adding unit repeatedly adds one or more (0,0) motion vectors allowing duplication as the motion vector predictor candidates.
