Abstract

An encoding and decoding method are disclosed. The method includes: Each of multiple viewpoint bitstreams includes a first type bitstream and a second type bitstream; when a first image frame in a first type bitstream of a first viewpoint bitstream is played, receiving a switching request that indicates to play a second viewpoint bitstream; determining a first random access frame that is in a first type bitstream and/or a second type bitstream of the second viewpoint bitstream and has a play moment after and closest to the first image frame; decoding to obtain the first random access frame based on encoded data of the first random access frame in the second viewpoint bitstream, and decoding to obtain and play an image frame that is in the first type bitstream of the second viewpoint bitstream by using the first random access frame as a reference frame.
