Abstract
An image encoder includes: circuitry; and a memory coupled to the circuitry. The circuitry, in operation: calculates first values of a current block using intra prediction, the intra prediction being limited to planar mode, the planar mode using multiple reference pixels for each pixel location of the current block; calculates second values of the current block using inter prediction; calculates third values of the current block by weighting the first values and the second values; and encodes the current block using the third values, and in the calculating of the third values, a first weight is applied to the first values and a second weight is applied to the second values, the second weight being different from the first weight.
