<p>The present invention relates to an image processing device and an image processing method whereby encoding efficiency of image prediction encoding can be improved. A horizontal processing unit 31 performs horizontal packing as horizontal processing to manipulate the horizontal-direction array of pixels of each of a first thinned-out image and a second thinned-out image arrayed in checkerboard fashion, obtained by thinning out the pixels of each of a first image and a second image different from the first image every other line in an oblique direction, wherein pixels of first and second thinned-out images are packed in the horizontal direction. A combining unit 33 generates a combined image which is combined by adjacently arraying the post-horizontal processing first and second thinned-out images after horizontal processing, as an image to serve as the object of prediction encoding. The present invention can be applied to a case of performing prediction encoding on a fist and second image, such as an L (Left) image and R (Right) image making up a 3D image or the like, for example.</p> |
