<p>This technology is related to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method wherein prediction efficiency of a disparity prediction can be improved. A reference image conversion unit converts a reference image to a converted reference image having a resolution ratio that matches the ratio of the lateral resolution to the longitudinal resolution of an image to be encoded, by controlling filter processing to be implemented on the reference image according to a reference image to be referred to upon generating a prediction image of the image to be encoded, which is a reference image from a viewpoint different from the image to be encoded, and according to resolution information related to the resolution of the image to be encoded. A disparity compensation unit generates a prediction image by executing disparity compensation using the converted reference image, and the image to be encoded is encoded using the prediction image. This technology can be applied, for example, to encoding and decoding of images taken from a plurality of viewpoints.</p> |
