FIELD: image encoding/decoding.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means for encoding and decoding images. It is determined whether the index of the reference image information for the current image is equal to zero. Using the scheme, only when determining that the index of the reference image information for the current image is not zero, the reference information is received, indicating whether the information of the reference image for the current image is predicted from other information of the reference image. The predicted image is generated using the scheme using the reference image information determined based on the reference information. The current image is decoded using the scheme using the predicted image.
EFFECT: increased encoding efficiency.
