Abstract

A three-dimensional data encoding method includes: generating a bitstream by encoding subspaces included in a current space in which three-dimensional points are included. The bitstream includes encoded data respectively corresponding to the subspaces. In the generating of the bitstream, a list of information about the subspaces is stored in first control information included in the bitstream. The subspaces are respectively associated with identifiers assigned to the subspaces, and the first control information is common to the encoded data. Each of the identifiers assigned to the subspaces respectively corresponding to the encoded data is stored in a header of a corresponding one of the encoded data.

Claims (11)

1. A three-dimensional data decoding method, comprising:

decoding a bitstream including a plurality of encoded data respectively corresponding to a plurality of subspaces included in a current space in which a plurality of three-dimensional points are included, the bitstream being obtained by encoding the plurality of subspaces,

wherein, in the decoding of the bitstream:

encoded data of a current subspace is obtained using (i) a list of information about the plurality of subspaces respectively associated with a plurality of identifiers, and (ii) the plurality of identifiers, the list of information being included in first control information common to the plurality of encoded data, the first control information being included in the bitstream, each of the plurality of identifiers being included in a header of corresponding encoded data included in the plurality of encoded data and being assigned to the subspace corresponding to the corresponding encoded data.

2. A three-dimensional data decoder which decodes a plurality of three-dimensional points each including attribute information, the three-dimensional data decoder comprising:

a processor; and

memory,

wherein, using the memory, the processor:

decodes a bitstream including a plurality of encoded data respectively corresponding to a plurality of subspaces included in a current space in which a plurality of three-dimensional points are included, the bitstream being obtained by encoding the plurality of subspaces; and

when decoding the bitstream:

obtains encoded data of a current subspace using (i) a list of information about the plurality of subspaces respectively associated with a plurality of identifiers, and (ii) the plurality of identifiers, the list of information being included in first control information common to the plurality of encoded data, the first control information being included in the bitstream, each of the plurality of identifiers being included in a header of corresponding encoded data included in the plurality of encoded data and being assigned to the subspace corresponding to the corresponding encoded data.
