Abstract
The present disclosure relates to image processing apparatus and method that can prevent a reduction in image quality. Geometry data that is a frame image having arranged thereon a projected image obtained by projecting 3D data representing a three-dimensional structure on a two-dimensional plane and includes a special value indicating occupancy map information in a range is generated. The generated geometry data is encoded. Further, the encoded data on the geometry data is decoded, and a depth value indicating a position of the 3D data and the occupancy map information are extracted from the decoded geometry data. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, an information processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus, electronic equipment, an information processing method, or a program.
