Abstract
An image encoding apparatus encodes image data and includes an image encoding unit that receives an input of the image data and image parameters and generates encoded image data by performing image encoding on the image data with reference to the image parameters and furthermore binarizing and arithmetically encoding the image data. A parameter processing unit outputs, as parameter information, parameters that are included in the image parameters and that are referred to when the encoded image data is arithmetically decoded, and encodes the image parameters to generate and output encoded image parameters. A stream generation unit generates a stream including the encoded image data obtained from the image encoding unit and the parameter information and the encoded image parameters that are outputted from the parameter processing unit.
