- Description
- XYZ is a simple plain-text file format used to store 3D point cloud data, where each line typically contains the X, Y, and Z coordinates of a single point, sometimes followed by additional attributes like color or normal vectors. It is widely used in 3D scanning, LiDAR surveying, and computer graphics for exchanging raw point cloud data between software applications.
- 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.
