Abstract
The present invention provides an encoding apparatus including a setting section that partitions each of images included in a video to be encoded into a plurality of tiles and sets a partial region including one or more of the plurality of tiles for the image, an encoding section that encodes each image on a per-tile basis to generate an encoded stream, and a transmission control section that controls transmission of the encoded stream to a decoding apparatus that decodes the video. The setting section sets out-of-tile reference for motion compensation for the tiles within the partial region to be prohibited, and the transmission control section restricts, upon detection of a loss or an absence of encoded information at the decoding apparatus, the transmission such that only an encoded stream corresponding to the tiles within the partial region is transmitted.
