Patent attributes
There is provided an information processing apparatus and method which enable an increase in a load of decoding processing of coded data of a point cloud to be suppressed. Positional information of a point cloud expressing an object with a three-dimensional shape as a set of points is encoded in an order which causes a decoding result of coded data of the positional information to be output in a processing order of attribute information of the point cloud, and coded data thereof is generated. In addition, coded data of positional information of a point cloud expressing an object with a three-dimensional shape as a set of points is decoded and a decoding result thereof is to be output in a processing order of attribute information of the point cloud. For example, the present disclosure can be applied to an information processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus, a coding apparatus, a decoding apparatus, an electronic device, an information processing method, a program, or the like.
