Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that are capable of improving the accuracy of a depth image of a 3D model. A depth image generation unit generates a depth image of a plurality of viewpoints for each object included in a 3D model. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, an encoding device or the like configured to generate a color image and a depth image of each object of each of a plurality of viewpoints on the basis of 3D data of a 3D model, generate an encoded stream by encoding the images, and generate object range information indicating the range of each object.
