- Description
- LAS (LASer) is a binary file format for storing 3D LiDAR point cloud data, including coordinates, intensity, classification, and other attributes captured by laser scanning systems. It is widely used in surveying, geospatial analysis, forestry, and topographic mapping to exchange and archive aerial or terrestrial LiDAR data.
- A DCM file is an image file saved in the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image format. It stores a medical image, such as a CT scan or ultrasound. DCM files may also include patient information to pair the image with the patient.
