- 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.
- LAS (LASer) is a binary file format for storing 3D LiDAR point cloud data, including coordinates, intensity, classification, and other attributes captured by laser scanning systems. It is widely used in surveying, geospatial analysis, forestry, and topographic mapping to exchange and archive aerial or terrestrial LiDAR data.
