Abstract
An encoding method for encoding three-dimensional points each having a position represented by a distance and an angle, the encoding method comprising: identifying three-dimensional points that belong to a second processing unit and have been encoded, for inter prediction of a first three-dimensional point belonging to a first processing unit; and selecting a reference three-dimensional point from the three-dimensional points identified to calculate an inter predicted value of the first three-dimensional point. The three-dimensional points identified include a second three-dimensional point and a third three-dimensional point, the second three-dimensional point having a second angle corresponding to a first angle of the first three-dimensional point, the third three-dimensional point having a third angle greater than the second angle.
