Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that make it possible to reduce the transmission amount of data. The image processing apparatus includes a segmentation section configured to generate, for a plurality of point-of-view images of an object from a plurality of points of view, a plurality of segmentation images each of which is narrowed to a region that includes the object. The present technology can be applied to an encoding device, a decoding device and so forth of a system that performs generation and display of a bird view video, for example, on the basis of a plurality of point-of-view images captured from a plurality of points of view or a plurality of point-of-view images that are CG images from a plurality of points of view.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that includes a first space information generation unit that generates information related to a first space, a second space information generation unit that generates information related to a second space such that the second space is arranged in the first space, the second space being smaller than the first space, and an operation information processing unit that processes information regarding an operation on the first space on the basis of an operation on the second space by a user.

Abstract: A viewpoint position heat map illustrating a distribution status of viewpoint positions of users viewing a content is generated to enable content and advertisement distribution control by using the heat map. A server transmits, to a client, a free viewpoint video content that allows video to be observed in accordance with a viewpoint position and a sight line direction. The client generates viewing status information including temporal sequence data of the viewpoint positions and sight line directions of the users viewing the content, and transmits the viewing status information to the server. The server receives the viewing status information from a plurality of clients, and generates a viewpoint position heat map illustrating a distribution status of the viewpoint positions of the viewing users, and a gaze point position heat map illustrating a distribution status of gaze point positions of the viewing users.

Abstract: [Object] Complexity of the operation on the virtual space by the user is increased. [Solution] An information processing apparatus includes: a first space information generation unit configured to generate information related to a first space; a second space information generation unit configured to generate information related to a second space such that the second space is arranged in the first space, the second space being smaller than the first space; and an operation information processing unit configured to process information regarding an operation on the first space on the basis of an operation on the second space by a user.
