- 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.
- It is a 3D model file format developed by Stanford Computer Graphics Laboratory. PLY is mainly used to describe objects in a collection of polygons.
