Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus and method to make it possible to reduce a decrease in encoding efficiency. A predictive residual that is a difference between a reflected light intensity that is attribute data of a point cloud representing an object having a three-dimensional shape as a set of points and a predicted value of the reflected light intensity generated by using a reflection model of light on a surface of the object is generated by decoding encoded data of the predictive residual, a coefficient of the reflection model is derived, a predicted value is derived by performing prediction processing by using the reflection model and the coefficient, and the reflected light intensity is generated by adding the predictive residual obtained by decoding the encoded data and the derived predicted value. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus, an electronic device, an image processing method, a program or the like.
