A three-dimensional data encoding method includes: calculating coefficient values from items of attribute information of three-dimensional points; quantizing the coefficient values to generate quantization values; and generating a bitstream including the quantization values. One or more items of attribute information are classified, for each of three-dimensional spaces, into one of groups, the three-dimensional spaces (i) being included in a plurality of three-dimensional spaces, and (ii) including, among the three-dimensional points, three-dimensional points including the one or more items of attribute information. In the quantizing, the coefficient values are quantized using a predetermined quantization parameter or one or more quantization parameters for one or more groups, the one or more groups being included in the groups and including one or more items of attribute information used to calculate the coefficient values, the one or more items of attribute information being included in the items of attribute information.

A three-dimensional data encoding method includes: generating a first predicted value for an item of position information of a first three-dimensional point included in point cloud data, using an item of position information of a reference three-dimensional point included in the point cloud data and angle information; calculating a first difference value between the item of position information of the first three-dimensional point and the first predicted value; and generating a bitstream including the first difference value and the angle information.

A three-dimensional data encoding method includes: encoding, for each of three-dimensional points included in point cloud data, geometry information and one or more items of attribute information to generate a bitstream. In the encoding, a normal vector of each of the three-dimensional points is encoded as an item of attribute information included in the one or more items of attribute information of the three-dimensional point.

A three-dimensional model generation method executed by an information processing device includes: obtaining a first three-dimensional model from a measuring device that emits an electromagnetic wave and obtains a reflected wave which is the electromagnetic wave reflected by a measurement target to thereby generate a first three-dimensional model including first position information indicating first three-dimensional positions in the measurement target; obtaining a multi-viewpoint image generated by one or more cameras shooting the measurement target from different positions; and generating a second three-dimensional model by enhancing the definition of the first three-dimensional model using the multi-viewpoint image.
