摘要

An image signal encoding unit 107 generates image encoded data by encoding a plurality of images from multiple viewpoints different from each other. A depth information encoding unit (e.g., a depth signal encoding unit 108) generates depth information encoded data by encoding depth information that indicates the depth of a specific space from at least one viewpoint. A unitization unit 109 generates an encoded stream including the image encoded data and depth information encoded data, which are respectively generated by the image signal encoding unit 107 and the depth information encoding unit.
