Abstract
A video encoder includes: a restriction block identification unit that determines a valid prediction mode with a reference range not overlapping an unrefreshed region, for each size of a first sub-block, which is a unit for generating a prediction block, when a coding-target block in a refreshed region is to be encoded by intra prediction coding; and a coding mode determination unit that identifies a combination of the size of the first sub-block, the size of a second sub-block, which is a unit for application of a prediction mode, and a valid prediction mode with the smallest estimation value of the amount of code for encoding a third block, which is a unit for application of an intra prediction coding mode, as a combination to be used for intra prediction coding of the third sub-block.
