Abstract
A three-dimensional data encoding method includes: determining whether to encode, using an octree structure, a current space unit among a plurality of space units included in three-dimensional data; encoding the current space unit using the octree structure, when it is determined that the current space unit is to be encoded using the octree structure; encoding the current space unit using a different method that is not the octree structure, when it is determined that the current space unit is not to be encoded using the octree structure; and appending, to a bitstream, information that indicates whether the current space unit has been encoded using the octree structure.
