Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus and method capable of suppressing a reduction in the quality of 3D data due to encoding and decoding. By dividing a mesh representing an object having a three-dimensional structure into patches, pair information indicating a pair constituted by a single vertex of the mesh or a plurality of vertices of a patch generated from a plurality of vertices at the same position is generated, and the generated pair information is encoded. The present disclosure may be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus, an electronic device, an information processing method, a program or the like.
