The embodiment of the invention provides a 
point cloud geometrical information inter-frame encoding and decoding method. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a frame 
point cloud in front of a current frame 
point cloud as a 
reference frame point cloud; making 
octree division on the current frame point cloud and the 
reference frame point cloud respectively, then dividing divided nodes, making iterative division until leaf nodes are ended to acquire a first 
octree structure of the current frame point cloud and a second 
octree structure of the 
reference frame point cloud; obtainingthe occupation condition of each reference node, and when the occupation condition of the reference node corresponding to the coding node is occupied, obtaining the occupation condition of a first neighbor node of the reference node; and determining a 
context model of a to-be-coded node placeholder code based on the placeholder condition, and performing entropy coding according to the 
context model to obtain a binary code 
stream. When the inter-frame prediction is occupied, the inter-frame 
context model is used for entropy coding, otherwise, the intra-frame context model is used for entropy coding, and motion compensation is not needed, so that the inter-frame coding and decoding complexity can be reduced, and the geometric entropy coding performance can be improved.
