Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that make it possible to generate a texture image of high picture quality at a predetermined viewpoint using an omnidirectional image. A plurality of real cameras image a plurality of reference images at a plurality of viewpoint positions in a plurality of sight line directions. A great weight is applied to a reference image in a sight line direction close to a virtual viewpoint specified in response to a movement of a head mounted display and having a virtual viewpoint position and a sight line direction to generate a virtual viewpoint image by weighted averaging, and the virtual viewpoint image is displayed on the head mounted display. The present disclosure can be applied, for example, to a home server or the like that generates a display image of a predetermined viewpoint from an omnidirectional image.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that can use an omnidirectional image to generate a texture image of high picture quality from a predetermined viewpoint. A drawing section generates a display image from a predetermined viewpoint by using a texture image and a depth image of a first layer and using a texture image and a depth image of a second layer in which a range of information indicated by a pixel value is different from at least one of the texture image or the depth image of the first layer. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a home server or the like that generates a display image from a predetermined viewpoint from an omnidirectional image.

Abstract: [Object] To readily detect a position of a head of a user using an inexpensive sensor. [Solution] Change of the position of the head accompanied by viewpoint movement of the sitting user is accompanied by rotation movement of the head. Therefore, posture of the head of the user is obtained by integrating angular velocity detected by a gyro sensor worn on the head, and the posture of the head of the user is converted into a position of a head on a user coordinate system assuming that the head moves on a spherical surface having a radius of an arm length r around a waist position of the user. By adding the obtained change of the position in a head coordinate system to a position in a camera set at an application side which renders an image, motion parallax is presented.
