<p>The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method able to generate high-quality synthetic-view images. A multiview video decoding apparatus 105 receives and decodes an encoded stream obtained as a result of encoding residual information, 2D images 11 for N views, and depth images 12 for N views, the residual information being the error between synthetic-view images generated using the 2D images 11 for N views and the depth images 12 for N views, and 2D images 101 for (M-N) views at the view synthesis positions of the synthetic-view images. A view synthesizing apparatus 15 generates the synthetic-view images by using the 2D images 11 and depth images 12 for N views decoded by the multiview video decoding apparatus 105. A residual information compensating apparatus 106 adds the residual information into the generated synthetic-view images. The present invention may be applied to a system that conducts view synthesis, for example.</p> |
