Abstract:
An image decoding apparatus, method, and medium for decoding a current block included in a bitstream are provided. A first candidate, having a first motion vector that has been used to decode a first block, is searched for from one or more candidates. The first block is spatially or temporally adjacent to the current block. Two or more second candidates, each having a second motion vector being a zero vector, are derived when the first candidate is unavailable in the searching. A current block is decoded using derived candidates. The derived candidates include the two or more second candidates.

Claim (Index 3):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a program for decoding a current block included in a bitstream, the program, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform processes, the processes comprising:\n searching, from one or more candidates, for a first candidate having a first motion vector that has been used to decode a first block, the first block being spatially or temporally adjacent to the current block; deriving two or more second candidates, each having a second motion vector being a zero vector, when the first candidate is unavailable in the searching; and decoding a current block using derived candidates, the derived candidates including the two or more second candidates.
