    Abstract: To reduce the amount of data involved in coding a picture having a bit-depth higher than a bit-depth supported by an encoder, an image coding apparatus (100A) according to an aspect of the present invention includes: a down-converter (102A) which generates a base layer picture by down-converting a target picture to reduce the bit-depth of the target picture by a first value; a first encoder (111A) which codes the base layer picture, and generates a reconstructed picture by decoding the coded base layer picture; a subtractor (103A) which performs shift amount adjustment on the reconstructed picture to increase the bit-depth of the reconstructed picture by a second value, and generates, based on the reconstructed picture on which the adjustment has been performed and the target picture, an enhancement layer picture for enhancing the quality of the base layer picture; a second encoder (112A) which codes the enhancement layer picture; and an output unit (115) which outputs the coded base layer picture and the coded enhancement layer picture.
