The PCD (Point Cloud Data) is a file format for storing 3D point cloud data. It was created because existing formats did not support some of the features provided by the PCL library. PCD is the primary data format in PCL, but the library also offers the ability to save and load data in other formats (such as PLY, IFS, VTK, STL, OBJ, X3D).
CloudCompare is a 3D point cloud processing software (such as those obtained with a laser scanner).It can also handle triangular meshes and calibrated images. Originally created during a collaboration between Telecom ParisTech and the R&D division of EDF, the CloudCompare project began in 2003 with the PhD of Daniel Girardeau-Montaut on Change detection on 3D geometric data.

The LAS (LASer) format is a file format designed for the interchange and archiving of lidar point cloud data. It is an open, binary format specified by the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS). The format is widely used [1] and regarded as an industry standard for lidar data.

3D Viewer (formerly Mixed Reality Viewer and before that, View 3D) [2] [3] [4] is a 3D computer graphics viewer and augmented reality application that was first included in Windows 10 1703. It supports the .fbx , .3mf , .obj , and .stl and many more file formats [ 5 ] listed in features section.
LiDAR data is mainly stored in a point cloud format(.las). The captured point cloud data store X, Y Z geometric data. Each data point is obtained from a single laser scan and represents a local geo-referenced spatial datum. [20] It can represent realistic and three-dimensional rock faces in a remote and inaccessible natural terrain. [21]
Currently, the best source for nationwide LiDAR availability from public sources is the United States Interagency Elevation Inventory (USIEI). [1] The USIEI is a collaborative effort of NOAA and the U.S. Geological Survey, with contributions from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Park Service.
