Abstract

A video encoding method for encoding a plurality of images as a video image. The method includes a reference parallax data setting step of setting reference parallax data which indicates a viewing difference between a first image and an already-encoded second image, in order to encode target encoding data assigned to a predetermined position in the first image; a corresponding position setting step of setting a corresponding position in the second image, which can correspond to the predetermined position, by using the reference parallax data; a code table setting step of setting a code table corresponding to target encoding data assigned to the corresponding position; and a target encoding data encoding step of encoding the target encoding data in the first image by using the code table.
