The present disclosure relates to an information processing device and a method that enable the reduction of encoding efficiency to be suppressed. A first mode or a second mode is selected as coding mode for a base mesh that is to be intra-coded. In a case of the first mode being selected as the coding mode, the vertex information and connection information of the base mesh are converted to secondary information indicating the relationship between the mutually adjacent faces of the base mesh, and the secondary information is then coded. In a case of the second mode being selected as the coding mode, the vertex information and connection information are coded without the conversion thereof to the secondary information. The present disclosure can be applied, for example, to information processing devices, electronic equipment, information processing methods or programs.

[Object] To improve the reliability by using an acknowledgement response while using radio resources efficiently in multicast transmission over wireless transmission. [Object] To improve the reliability by using an acknowledgement response while using radio resources efficiently in multicast transmission over wireless transmission. [Solution] A plurality of wireless communication devices included in a multicast group, when receiving a data frame, transmit simultaneously an acknowledgement response of multicast using spatial multiplexing in response to an acknowledgement request from a transmission source. On the other hand, a wireless communication device of the transmission source decomposes the acknowledgement responses simultaneously received into the original individual acknowledgement responses and restores them using signal processing based on information on a channel with each wireless communication device of a transmission destination.

The achromatic region extraction unit calculates achromatic determination information for each color component of the color polarized image using the polarization information acquired from the color polarized image, and extracts a region satisfying a condition that the achromatic determination information is achromatic as an achromatic region. The gain setting unit sets the white balance gain used in the white balance adjustment of the color polarized image on the basis of the white balance gain with which the achromatic region extracted by the achromatic region extraction unit becomes achromatic. For example, the gain setting unit sets the white balance gain for the entire color polarized image on the basis of the white balance gain of the achromatic region, or sets the white balance gain of a region different from the achromatic region on the basis of the white balance gains of a plurality of achromatic regions. The white balance adjustment can be easily performed on the basis of the polarization information.
