Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to encode image data and depth data according to a predetermined encoding system and configured to perform both rate control of a code generation amount from encoding the image data and rate control of a code generation amount from encoding the depth data. The circuitry is also configured to shift-change the depth data based on a difference between the bit depth of the depth data and the bit depth of the image data.
