Abstract
An image decoding apparatus is implemented that can suppress a decrease in coding efficiency in a case that a high compression rate is achieved. The image decoding apparatus includes a parameter decoder, and the parameter decoder decodes a skip flag indicating whether a skip mode is applied, and in a case that the skip flag does not indicate the skip mode, decodes a merge flag indicating whether a merge mode is applied, and in a case that the merge flag does not indicate the merge mode, decodes an MMVD flag indicating whether an MMVD mode is applied.
