Abstract
Provided are an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that make it possible to reduce a storage capacity necessary for an omnidirectional image. Of a plurality of images generated by perspectively projecting an omnidirectional image mapped to a 3D model onto a plurality of two-dimensional planes, an image corresponding to a viewing direction of a user and an omnidirectional image reduced in resolution are accepted, and a drawing block generates a display image on the basis of at least one of the accepted image and the accepted omnidirectional image reduced in resolution. A viewing direction acquisition block acquires viewing direction information related with the viewing direction of the user, and a sending block sends a viewing direction log recorded on the basis of the acquired viewing direction information.
