Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method by which three-dimensional data can be generated with high accuracy on the basis of two-dimensional image data and depth image data. A coordinate transformation data generation unit generates, on the basis of two-dimensional image data of a first viewpoint group and two-dimensional image data of a second viewpoint group, coordinate transformation data for converting a three-dimensional position in a first three-dimensional coordinate system of the first viewpoint group into a three-dimensional position in a second three-dimensional coordinate system of the second viewpoint group. A metadata addition unit transmits coordinate transformation information including encoded data of the two-dimensional image data of the first viewpoint group and depth image data, encoded data of the two-dimensional image data and depth image data of the second viewpoint group and coordinate transformation data generated by the coordinate transformation data generation unit.
