Abstract:
An apparatus includes a first holding unit configured to hold, in a reference image, first reference pixels in a search range including a block corresponding to a first block as a coding target in the input image, a first search unit configured to search for a motion vector of a prediction block included in the first block, using the first reference pixels, a second holding unit configured to hold, in the reference image, second reference pixels in a search range including a block corresponding to a second block as a coding target, a second search unit configured to search for a motion vector of a prediction block included in the second block, using the second reference pixels, and a transfer unit configured to read, from among the first reference pixels, a reference pixel to be used by the second search unit for the search.

Claim (Index 9):
The method according to  claim 8 , wherein the reading reads, among the first reference pixels, a block including a reference pixel not to be used by the first searching to search for the motion vector and to be referenced by the second searching to search for the motion vector, and transfers the block to the second holding unit.
