Abstract

A point cloud data transmission method according embodiments comprises a step for encoding point cloud data including the geometry and attributes, the geometry being information indicating the positions of the points of the point cloud data, and the attributes including one or more among the color and reflectance of the points, wherein the encoding step comprises: a step for converting the coordinates representing the positions of the points; and a step for transmitting a bitstream including the encoded point cloud data. The point cloud data transmission method can encode and transmit the point cloud data.
