摘要

In the disclosed multi-view image encoding/decoding method in which a frame to be encoded/decoded is divided and encoding/decoding is done to each region, first, a prediction image is generated not only for the region to be processed, but also for the already encoded/decoded regions neighboring to the region to be processed. The prediction image is generated using the same prediction method for both kinds of regions. Next, correction parameters for correcting illumination and color mismatches are estimated from the prediction image and decoded image of the neighboring regions. At this time, the estimated correction parameters can be obtained even at the decoding side, therefore, encoding them is unnecessary. Thus, by using the estimated correction parameters to correct the predicted image that was generated for the region to be processed, a corrected predicted image that can be actually used is generated.
