- 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.
- A PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
