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.
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.
