Abstract:
There is provided an encoding apparatus, an encoding method, a decoding apparatus, and a decoding method that make it possible to acquire two-dimensional image data of a viewpoint corresponding to a predetermined display image generation method and depth image data without depending upon the viewpoint upon image pickup. A conversion unit generates, from three-dimensional data of an image pickup object, two-dimensional image data of a plurality of viewpoints corresponding to a predetermined display image generation method and depth image data indicative of a position of each of pixels in a depthwise direction of the image pickup object. An encoding unit encodes the two-dimensional image data and the depth image data generated by the conversion unit. A transmission unit transmits the two-dimensional image data and the depth image data encoded by the encoding unit. The present disclosure can be applied, for example, to an encoding apparatus and so forth.

Claim (Index 1):
An encoding apparatus, comprising:\n a two-dimensional data generation unit configured to generate, from three-dimensional data of an image pickup object, two-dimensional image data of a plurality of first viewpoints corresponding to a given display image generation method and depth image data indicative of a position of each of pixels in a depthwise direction of the image pickup object with respect to a second viewpoint; an encoding unit configured to encode the two-dimensional image data of the plurality of first viewpoints and the depth image data generated by the two-dimensional data generation unit; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the two-dimensional image data of the plurality of first viewpoints and the depth image data encoded by the encoding unit.
