Abstract
A moving picture coding apparatus includes a co-located block information determination unit which determines which one of a forward reference block and a backward reference block will be a co-located block and further determines whether only the unidirectional motion vector of the motion vectors of the co-located block is to be stored in a colPic memory; a temporal motion vector predictor calculation unit which derives a candidate motion vector predictor in temporal motion vector predictor mode using the colPic information stored in the colPic memory; and an inter prediction control unit which determines to code a motion vector using a candidate motion vector predictor having least error from the motion vector derived by motion estimation among candidate motion vector predictors.
