An evaluation device for evaluating coding quality of coded data of an image for a first viewpoint in a multi-viewpoint image, the evaluation device includes an evaluation unit that evaluates coding quality of coded data relating to the first viewpoint by associating a pixel value of an original image for the first viewpoint, a pixel value obtained from the coded data relating to the first viewpoint, a pixel value of an original image for a second viewpoint that is different from the first viewpoint and a pixel value obtained from coded data relating to the second viewpoint with one another.

Evaluation apparatus, evaluation method and program

A prediction device for predicting a motion vector of a coding target block in coding of a composite image formed by combining multiple viewpoint images includes: a storage unit that stores a first predicted motion vector indicating a predicted motion vector candidate; and an update unit that if a predetermined condition is met, generates a second predicted motion vector that is a vector indicating a pixel in an adjacent viewpoint, the pixel being located at a position that is same as a position of the coding target block, and stores the second predicted motion vector the storage unit.
