Original Abstract Submitted

A method of encoding/decoding a point cloud into/from a bitstream of encoded point cloud data representing a physical object includes determining a dynamic list of at least one prediction data used to derive at least one candidate predictor used to encode geometry data of points of the point cloud. The list of at least one prediction data is dynamic because during the encoding of points, prediction data are updated based on residuals radius of decoded points.
