Abstract
An encoder for encoding an image signal, the encoder including processing circuitry that sets, as a block setting process and in case that a condition that an operating mode requires resource efficiency higher than that of a normal mode, a depth of block division with more limited variety of pixel sizes of coding units than that of the normal mode; performs cost calculation and divisional determination only with respect to coding units within the set depth; and skips cost calculation and divisional determination with respect to coding units outside the set first depth.
