IMAGE ENCODING METHOD AND DEVICE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H04N19/30 H04N19/70 H04N19/105 H04N19/187 H04N19/593 H04N19/46 

FIELD: electrical communication engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to encoding/decoding images. Image encoding device comprises: a reference layer designation information generation unit for generating reference layer designation information designating a layer that is reference when performing interlayer prediction only in a case where a maximum number of another layer referred to at a time of performing the interlayer prediction and a number of another layer referred to at the time of performing the interlayer prediction, given for entire image data, configured via a plurality of layers, do not coincide with each other; and an encoding unit for encoding image data.

EFFECT: technical result is high efficiency of image encoding / decoding.
