Abstract
Provided is an encoding apparatus, an encoding method, a decoding apparatus, and a decoding method by which a transmission efficiency and picture quality can be improved. The encoding apparatus encodes an input image by a non-reversible encoding method and transmits identification information for identifying match components that are, from among a plurality of texture components registered in a database, texture components that match with the input image and encoded data obtained by encoding the input image. The decoding apparatus receives the encoded data and the identification information, decodes the encoded data into a decoded image, and synthesizes the texture component as the match component identified by the identification information from among a plurality of texture components registered in a database and the decoded image. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a codec or the like by which an image is encoded and decoded.
