CODING METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Embodiments of this application provide an encoding method and an electronic device. The method includes: obtaining probe data, where the probe data corresponds to one or more probes in a three-dimensional scene, and the probe data is used by a second device to determine shading effect of an object in the three-dimensional scene in a rendering process; performing data form conversion on the probe data to obtain intermediate data, where the data form conversion includes domain conversion; and encoding the intermediate data to obtain a corresponding bitstream. In comparison with the conventional technology, this application can reduce a bit rate under same rendering effect, or can improve rendering effect under a same bit rate.
