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 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).
National LIDAR Dataset - England, carried out by the Environment Agency. 75% coverage of England at 2m resolution or higher. Composite, Tiled (historic) LIDAR and Point Cloud are available as Open Data. New Zealand In discussion n/a Requests for source point cloud data by contacting LINZ directly at imagery@linz.govt.nz France In progress 10
QGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) software that is free and open-source. [2] QGIS supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. [3] It supports viewing, editing, printing, and analysis of geospatial data in a range of data formats.
The Global Mapper LiDAR Module offers optional enhancement to base Global Mapper application and provides numerous advanced LiDAR processing tools (e.g., automatic point cloud classification, automatic extraction of buildings, trees, and powerlines, cross-sectional viewing and point editing, custom digitizing or extraction of 3D line and area ...
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.

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.
The GigaMesh Software Framework is a free and open-source software for display, editing and visualization of 3D-data typically acquired with structured light or structure from motion. [ 3 ] It provides numerous functions for analysis of archaeological objects like cuneiform tablets , ceramics [ 4 ] [ 5 ] or converted LiDAR data. [ 6 ]
