Abstract

A three-dimensional data encoding method includes: obtaining geometry information which includes first three-dimensional positions on a measurement target, and is generated by a measurer that radially emits an electromagnetic wave in different directions and obtains a reflected wave which is the electromagnetic wave that is reflected by the measurement target; generating a two-dimensional image including first pixels corresponding to the directions, based on the geometry information; and encoding the two-dimensional image to generate a bitstream. Each of the first pixels has a pixel value indicating a first three-dimensional position or attribute information of a three-dimensional point which is included in a three-dimensional point cloud and corresponds to a direction to which the first pixel corresponds among the directions.
