Patent Images

1. An image encoding device that performs encoding processing that is for compressing one or more moving pictures and includes motion estimation processing, comprising:

  • a moving picture count acquisition unit operable to acquire a moving picture count that shows how many moving pictures are an encoding target;

    a moving picture acquisition unit operable to acquire one or plural moving pictures that are the encoding target;

    a motion estimation processing method designation unit operable to designate, in accordance with the acquired moving picture count, a motion estimation processing method that affects a computation amount in the motion estimation processing, such that the greater the moving picture count is, the smaller the computation amount is; and

    an encoding unit operable to perform encoding processing with respect to the acquired one or plural moving pictures, and in a case that the plural moving pictures are acquired, perform the encoding processing by time division,wherein the encoding unit includes a motion estimation sub-unit operable to perform, as part of the encoding processing, motion estimation processing using the designated motion estimation processing method.
