Point cloud

In French:
Nuage de points

Definition

A set of points located by their three-dimensional coordinates, sometimes with a colour or an intensity, that describes the surface of the objects in a scene. It is produced by a lidar, a depth camera or by reconstruction from several images. The Point Cloud Library (PCL) is an open-source project devoted to processing it.
