Abstract
An encoding device that performs an encoding process on a moving image by using motion estimation according to the present invention includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a framerate of the moving image; a setting unit that performs setting of the number of reference frames on each frame of the moving image in accordance with the framerate; and an estimation unit that performs the motion estimation by using a frame to be encoded and a reference frame acquired based on the setting, and the setting unit performs the setting such that the number of reference frames is smaller when the framerate is higher.
