- Description
- PCD (Point Cloud Data) is the native file format used by the Point Cloud Library (PCL) to store 2D and 3D point cloud data, including coordinates, color, normals, and other point attributes. It supports both ASCII and binary encoding and is widely used in robotics, computer vision, and 3D scanning applications for processing and exchanging point cloud datasets.
- 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.
