Original Abstract Submitted

A three-dimensional data encoding method includes: encoding geometry information of each of three-dimensional points based on one of a first geometry information encoding method of encoding using octree division and a second geometry information encoding method of encoding without using octree division; and generating a bitstream including the geometry information encoded and a geometry information flag indicating whether the encoding was performed based on the first geometry information encoding method or the second geometry information encoding method. In the generating of the bitstream: when the encoding is performed based on the first geometry information encoding method, the bitstream including a parameter set used in octree division is generated; and when the encoding is performed based on the second geometry information encoding method, the bitstream not including the parameter set used for octree division is generated.
