Abstract
An image encoding apparatus includes a first encoding unit configured to encode an N-th image of a plurality of images and a second encoding unit configured to encode an (N+1)th image, which is continuous to the N-th image, with reference to the N-th image. The processing system adaptively determines processing start timing based on a motion vector presence range of an initial processing target block of the (N+1)th image, which is a part of the N-th image.
