Abstract

A dynamic image encoding technique provides high image quality encoding while eliminating the formation of a subjectively undesirable vector field. A dynamic image encoding device includes: an inter-frame predictor, a motion vector calculator, a prediction motion vector calculator, a skip mode motion vector calculator, and a skip mode validity judger. The skip mode validity judger calculates a code amount of a differential motion vector of the motion vector estimated by considering the motion vector of the skip mode and the subjective image quality, and uses a value of the code amount of the differential motion vector weighted by a block quantization parameter for the skip mode validity judgment.
