<p>This technique relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method for allowing multi-viewpoint images to be efficiently generated. An establishing unit of a non-base encoding unit establishes view direction management information for managing base images of a base view that are to be stored in a decode picture buffer when dependent images of a dependent view are encoded. An encoding unit of the non-base encoding unit encodes the base images and dependent images to generate encoded data. A transmitting unit of the non-base encoding unit transmits the established view direction management information and generated encoded data. This technique can be applied to, for example, an image processing apparatus that encodes multi-viewpoint images.</p> |
