A point cloud decoding method is provided. In the method, a target point cloud group of a plurality of point cloud groups is obtained. The target point cloud group includes at least one point. An attribute coding mode of the target point cloud group is determined. Prediction attribute information of each point in the target point cloud group is obtained based on attribute prediction of the respective point in the target point cloud group according to the attribute coding mode of the target point cloud group. Reconstruction residual information of each point in the target point cloud group is obtained based on attribute decoding of the respective point in the target point cloud group. Reconstruction attribute information of each point in the target point cloud group is determined according to the prediction attribute information and the reconstruction residual information of the respective point in the target point cloud group.
