Abstract
An image decoding method and device which decodes an encoded bit steam of a video object is disclosed. A VOP decoder decodes a VOP that is image data serving as an encoding unit of a video object; and a VOL header analyzing part decodes a 1-bit VOP rate flag, contained in encoded form in a header information part of a VOL layer composed of several VOPs, for indicating that a display rate in the VOL of the VOP to be decoded by the VOP decoder is a fixed rate. A coding parameter analyzer analyzes a parameter of the encoded bit stream to restore an information to indicate that temporal distance between any two successive video frames to be displayed is constant in the video sequence by the information only, the information being analyzed prior to a decoding process for a data area representing the video frames.
