According to the present invention, an image coding apparatus provides a run-length encoding unit RLE1 that subjects quantized coefficients which are obtained by quantizing frequency components of an image signal to a variable length coding process by using a run value Run that indicates the number of successive zero coefficients and a level value Lev that indicates a value of a non-zero coefficient following the zero coefficients. The run-length encoding unit RLE1 includes an reordering unit Lreodr for reordering level values Lev; a variable length coder LVLC for coding reordered level values ROLev by using a code table that is selected according to the value of a quantization parameter QP; a reordering unit Rreodr for reordering run values Run from high frequency component of the quantized coefficients to low frequency component; and a variable length coder RVLC for coding reordered run values RORun by using a code table that is selected according to the number of already-processed run values. Accordingly, a variable length coding process for quantized coefficients is carried out at a higher coding efficiency, with redundant information included in the coefficients being effectively reduced.

The present invention provides an image coding method and an image decoding method by which an image can be restored correctly even if part of memory management information is lost by a transmission channel error, a candidate of a reference image that can be referred to is selected more appropriately, and coding efficiency is improved. The image coding method includes a step for executing coding of an image (Step 100), a step for judging whether a picture in the memory which is never used as reference exists (Step 102), a step for coding memory management information for releasing the picture in the memory which is never used as reference when a picture in the memory which is never used as reference exists (Step 103), a step for releasing the picture in the memory which is never used as reference (Step 104), a step for judging whether the memory management information that releases the picture in the memory which is never used as reference is coded by coding of an image immediately before (Step 105), and a step for coding again the memory management information that releases the picture in the memory which is never used as reference when the memory management information is coded (Step 106).

According to a picture coding method of the present invention, a coded picture identified by a picture number is stored, as a reference picture, into a storage unit; commands indicating correspondence between picture numbers and reference indices for designating reference pictures and coefficients used for generation of predictive images are generated; a reference picture being used when motion compensation is performed on a current block in a current picture to be coded is designated by a reference index; a predictive image is generated by performing linear prediction on a block being obtained by motion estimation within the designated reference picture, by use of a coefficient corresponding to the reference index; a coded image signal including a coded signal obtained by coding a prediction error being a difference between the current block in the current picture to be coded and the predictive image, the commands, the reference index and the coefficient is outputted. At that time, information indicating the maximum reference index value is coded and included into the coded image signal, and the commands indicating correspondence between at least one picture number and a plurality of reference indices are generated.
