- Description
- LAZ is a compressed binary file format for storing lidar point cloud data, serving as a lossless compressed version of the LAS format. It significantly reduces file size while preserving all point data, coordinates, and attributes captured by lidar sensors, making it widely used in surveying, GIS, and remote sensing workflows.
- It is a 3D model file format developed by Stanford Computer Graphics Laboratory. PLY is mainly used to describe objects in a collection of polygons.
