Point Cloud

A point cloud is a collection of data points that represent the shape of a physical object or environment in three-dimensional space. Each point in the cloud has coordinates (x, y, z) that define its position. Point clouds are commonly generated using 3D scanning technologies, such as LiDAR or photogrammetry, and are used in various fields like architecture, engineering, and robotics. They allow for visualization and analysis of complex shapes and surfaces, helping professionals create detailed models or conduct measurements without needing physical objects.
