Abstract
A three-dimensional data encoding method of encoding three-dimensional points includes: calculating a predicted value of attribute information of a first three-dimensional point in a prediction mode, using one or more items of attribute information of one or more second three-dimensional points in the vicinity of the first three-dimensional point; calculating a prediction residual that is a difference between the attribute information of the first three-dimensional point and the predicted value; and generating a bitstream including the prediction residual and prediction mode information indicating the prediction mode. The prediction mode is: one prediction mode among two or more prediction modes when a type of the attribute information of the first three-dimensional point is first attribute information including elements more than a predetermined threshold value; and one fixed prediction mode when the type is second attribute information including elements equal to or less than the predetermined threshold value.
