Abstract

An encoder includes circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the circuitry: encodes an original image and decodes the original image encoded, to generate a first bitstream and a local decoded image; encodes supplemental information and decodes the encoded supplemental information, to generate a second bitstream and local decoded supplemental information; inputs data based on the local decoded image and the local decoded supplemental information to a post processing network which is a neural network, to cause a reconstructed image to be output from the post processing network, the reconstructed image corresponding to the original image and being to be used to encode a following original image which follows the original image; and concatenates the first bitstream and the second bitstream to generate a concatenated bitstream.
