US Patent 9912963 Picture decoding device, picture decoding method and picture decoding program

In a picture coding device for coding picture signals including a brightness signal and a color-difference signal in a block unit using intra-prediction and coding information regarding an intra-prediction mode, when aspect ratios of pixels of the brightness signal and the color-difference signal are different from each other, a bitstream generator converts a mode number of a first intra-color-difference prediction mode used when the aspect ratios are equal to each other into a scaled mode number and derives a second intra-color-difference prediction mode used when the aspect ratios are different from each other.
