Abstract
To provide a video coding technique to reduce the amount of code, a coding apparatus configured to code layers at a plurality of resolutions as a stream determines the coding unit, prediction unit, and frequency transform unit for each layer in compliance with given rules with reference to the coding unit, prediction unit, and frequency transform unit of the lower layer, respectively, and switches the given rules with a flag. This adaptively and efficiently compresses a video.
