1. A picture decoding apparatus comprising:
- a demultiplexing section configured to demultiplex coded data into coded alpha-map data and coded position/size data;
a position/size decoder section configured to decode the coded position/size data; and
an alpha-map decoder section configured to decode the coded alpha-map data into an alpha-map signal of a rectangular object region in accordance with the coded position/size data, the rectangular object region containing an object and a part of a background surrounding the object.

Abstract
A video encoding apparatus is provided with a resolution converting section, an encoding section, and a transmitting section. The resolution converting section enlarges or reduces a binary picture which represents the shape of an object. The encoding section encodes a binary picture reduced by the resolution converting section. The reduction ratio used by the resolution converting section is encoded, and the transmitting section transmits this encoded reduction ratio along with encoded data on the binary picture. The amount of encoded data produced from the encoding section is controlled by changing the enlargement/reduction ratio used by the resolution converting section.
