Points file format - TNSB3
5.1 Points File Format
The application accepts a number of format types for pointes files. If a specific manufacturer\'s format is not chosen, the default points format will be the following:
A text file, with one point per line and the line in the following format:
| ID | X, Y, Z Coordinates | Intensity. | Color RGB |
|---|---|---|---|
| (Optional field) | (Obligatory field) | (Optional field) | (Optional field) |
ID: Point identifier
X, Y, Z Coordinate: Point Coordinates
Intensity: Point intensity, it can be a real number [0..1] or an integer value depending on file format.
Color RGB: Three whole values which correspond to red, green and blue channels, with whole values in the range [0, 255]
Fields must always appear in the same order, although only the coordinates are obligatory. In the event that none of the color fields appear, points will be assigned the color white by default.
The formats that can be imported are:
Cyclone Format: These files have the extension ".PTX" and ".PTS". The difference between the two formats is that in the former, the points are relative to the base, meaning that after reading each point, the absolute coordinates have to be defined, whilst in the case of the latter format they are expressed as absolute coordinates. The files for this format admit more than one sample per file. The application will create a file for each sample, adding a number as a suffix.
FARO Format: The main advantage of this format is that as the data is in binary format, import is significantly quicker. At this time only "*.FLS" files are supported.
Leica HDS 4500/6000 Format: These files have the extension ".FZS". The format of the points includes two whole values, the row and the column. These two numbers are ignored and only the coordinates of each point are read.
Leica Nova MS50 Format: These files have the extension ".XCF".
LAS Format: These files have the extension ".LAS" or ".LAZ" if the files are compressed.
E57 Format: These files have the extension ".E57".
Riegel Format: These files have the extension ".rdbx".
Topcon cl3 and clr Format: These files have the extensions ".cl3" or ".clr".
