THREE-DIMENSIONAL DATA ENCODING METHOD, THREE-DIMENSIONAL DATA DECODING METHOD, THREE-DIMENSIONAL DATA ENCODING DEVICE, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL DATA DECODING DEVICE

A three-dimensional data encoding method includes: dividing three-dimensional points included in three-dimensional data into three-dimensional point sub-clouds including a first three-dimensional point sub-cloud and a second three-dimensional point sub-cloud; appending first information indicating a space of the first three-dimensional point sub-cloud to a header of the first three-dimensional point sub-cloud, and appending second information indicating a space of the second three-dimensional point sub-cloud to a header of the second three-dimensional point sub-cloud; and encoding the first three-dimensional point sub-cloud and the second three-dimensional point sub-cloud so that the first three-dimensional point sub-cloud and the second three-dimensional point sub-cloud are decodable independently of each other.
