- Description
- ASTM E57 is a vendor-neutral binary file format for storing 3D point cloud data, along with associated images and metadata, commonly produced by laser scanners and other 3D imaging systems. It is widely used in surveying, construction, and engineering industries to exchange 3D scan data between different software applications and hardware vendors.
- PTS is a plain-text file format used to store 3D point cloud data captured by laser scanners, typically containing X, Y, Z coordinates along with optional intensity and RGB color values for each point. It is commonly used in surveying, architecture, and engineering workflows to exchange point cloud data between scanning hardware and 3D modeling or CAD software.
