Abstract
When a plurality of image signals of an object picked up by a plurality of image pickup units are encoded on a predetermined pixel block basis by using an inter-prediction between images, difference information showing an offset between the images is generated from the plurality of image signals, and a search range which is set in order to detect a vector on the predetermined pixel block basis is adaptively set in accordance with the generated difference information.
