Point Cloud: Storage, Loading, and Visualization

In recent years laser scanning and terrestrial imaging have enabled the collection of large amounts of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data. New laser scanning equipment made it easier to acquire 3-D representations of real world entities as high-density point clouds, which may then be generalized to compact forms such as TINs, meshes, surfaces and solids. Increasing LiDAR densities bring new dat
