Abstract:
An image decoding method includes: obtaining, for each of processing units obtained by splitting a current frame, motion vectors assigned to the processing unit; selecting, for each of small regions obtained by splitting a processing unit among the processing units, a motion vector to be used from among the motion vectors assigned to the processing unit, based on the motion vectors and reference frames at different times; generating, for each of the small regions, a predicted image using the motion vector selected for the small region; and decoding each of the small regions using the predicted image generated for the small region.

Claim (Index 16):
An image decoding device, comprising:\n an obtainer which obtains, for each of processing units obtained by splitting a current frame, motion vectors assigned to the processing unit; a selector which selects, for each of small regions obtained by splitting a processing unit among the processing units, a motion vector to be used from among the motion vectors assigned to the processing unit, based on the motion vectors and reference frames at different times; a generator which generates, for each of the small regions, a predicted image using the motion vector selected for the small region; and a decoder which decodes each of the small regions using the predicted image generated for the small region.
