Encoding Device And Encoding Method And Decoding Device And Decoding Method

Abstract: The present invention relates to an encoding device and an encoding method and a decoding device and a decoding method by which the amount of encoding of an encoded stream when information relating to a depth image is being included into the encoded stream can be reduced. A DPS encoder establishes depth image information which is information relating to a depth image as a DPS different from the sequence parameter set and the picture parameter set. A slice encoder section encodes the depth image generating encoded data. The slice encoder section transmits an encoded stream containing the DPS and the encoded data. The present invention is applicable to an encoding device for multi view images for example.
