Abstract
A video decoding apparatus is a video decoding apparatus for deriving a prediction image by using a reference picture included in a reference picture list. The video decoding apparatus includes: a parameter decoder configured to decode (i) one or more reference picture list structures, and (ii) a first flag indicating whether first reference picture list information is present in a slice header whose nal_unit_type is an IDR picture, the one or more reference picture list structures and the first flag being included in a sequence parameter set, and a second flag indicating whether or not second reference picture list information is present in a picture header, the second flag being included in a picture parameter set; and a prediction parameter derivation unit configured to (i) derive the first reference picture list information by using nal_unit_type or the first flag and the second flag in the slice header, or derive the second reference picture list information by using the second flag in the picture header, and (ii) derive the reference picture list, based on the one or more reference picture list structures. In a case that the first reference picture list is not derived, the number of entries of the one or more reference picture list structures is estimated to be 0.
