- Description
- The LDA (LaserData) file format is associated with laser imaging, detection, and ranging (LiDAR) technologies. It is used to store data captured by laser scanning devices, which include the three-dimensional coordinates of points in space, reflecting the contours and features of physical objects and terrains. LDA files enable the precise representation of environments for applications in surveying, urban planning, and geographical information systems (GIS). This format facilitates the analysis, manipulation, and visualization of high-resolution spatial data.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
