A moving image encoding device includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to partition a picture edge block into sub-blocks so that none of the sub-blocks include an edge of a picture by partitioning the picture edge block into four or two, the picture edge block being a block including a horizontal or vertical edge of the picture among blocks of the picture, generate a prediction block by referring to another encoded picture or an encoded area of the picture for each of the sub-blocks, calculate a prediction error between a pixel of a given sub-block and a corresponding pixel of the prediction block corresponding to the given sub-block for each of the sub-blocks and encode the prediction error, and add partitioning information indicating whether the picture edge block has been partitioned into four or two, to encoded moving image data.

A first encoder divides an encoding target image included in a video into a plurality of blocks, and encodes each of the plurality of blocks by performing a prediction coding by use of filtering processing. A second encoder encodes a parameter that represents a direction of a line of pixels in the filtering processing. Here, when an encoding target block that is one of the plurality of blocks has a rectangular shape, the second encoder changes, according to a direction of a long side of the rectangular shape, a process of encoding the parameter.

Apparatus and method for image coding, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An association circuit determines whether a first pixel in an image will be associated with an entry in a palette, based on a threshold for a difference between a pixel value and a palette value. An addition circuit adds an entry to the palette when the first pixel is not associated with an entry. A fusion circuit fuses two entries so as to generate a fused entry when a condition of a target amount of information is not satisfied by adding an entry. A control circuit changes the threshold when the first pixel is associated with an entry, when an entry is added, or when the fused entry is generated and an entry is added. The association circuit determines whether a second pixel in the image will be associated with an entry, based on the changed threshold. A palette encoding circuit encodes the image by using the palette.
