A movie image encoding device comprises: a distance image segmentation processing unit (22) that segments each frame image of a movie image into a plurality of regions; a number assignment unit (24) that determines a representative value for each region segmented by the distance image segmentation processing unit (22); and a distance value encoding unit (25) that selects whether to encode a numerical sequence, wherein the representative values determined by the number assignment unit (24) are arranged in a predetermined order, by either adaptive encoding or static encoding, and that generates encoding data for the frame image using the selected encoding method.
