Abstract
The present technology relates to an encoding device and an encoding method, and a decoding device and a decoding method configured to reduce an encoding amount of the encoded stream when information regarding a depth image is included in the encoded stream. A DPS encoding unit sets depth image information, which is information regarding a depth image, as a DPS different from a sequence parameter set and a picture parameter set. A slice encoding unit encodes the depth image to generate encoded data. Further, the slice encoding unit transmits an encoded stream including the DPS and the encoded data. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a multi-view image encoding device.
