The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and method configured to make it possible to improve the convenience of codestreams in which multiview images are encoded. A progression determining unit 183 determines a progressive structure for a merged codestream on the basis of analysis results for progressive structures of input codestreams 112 for respective views and externally supplied progressive structure instructions. A merging unit 184 merges the codestreams according to the determination so as to have the progressive structure. A progression information generator 185 generates progression information for the merged codestream 194, and embeds it at a given position. The present invention can be applied to an image processing apparatus, for example. |
