Encoding efficiency in multi-view image encoding is to be increased. A feature amount generation unit (41) generates a feature amount indicating the correlation between images of different viewpoints. Based on the generated feature amount, a reference index assignment unit (45) assigns reference indexes to a reference picture of a parallax prediction that uses the correlation between images of different viewpoints, and to a reference picture of a temporal prediction that uses the correlation between images in the temporal direction. In a case where the correlation is determined to be lower than a predetermined threshold value based on the feature amount, for example, the reference index assignment is changed, and the reference index assigned to a reference picture of a parallax prediction is re-assigned to a reference picture of a temporal prediction.

The present invention relates to an image processing device and an image processing method that enable a set of images of multiple visual points which images form a stereoscopic image to be recognized in a case of multiplexing and coding the images of the multiple visual points which images form the stereoscopic image even when the coded data is decoded from the middle in a decoding device.A coding system performs coding such that a picture of a random access point is a picture of an L-image of an LR pair and a picture of an R-image is a picture subsequent to the picture of the random access point in coding order. The present invention is applicable to devices for coding stereoscopic images, for example.
