sdc-rs

Read and write Riegl's .sdc file format.

Documentation.

This library comes with an executable, named sdc, that can perform some operations on .sdc files.

What is an .sdc file?

sdc is a very simple binary format for storing point cloud data. Its layout is defined in the documentation that comes with Riegl's SDCImport tool. An sdc file has a very brief header that gives the format version and some optional arbitrary ASCII text, and then each point record follows. The only way to get the total number of points in an sdc file is to read to the end.

License

As much as possible, this code is available under the MIT license. See LICENSE.txt in this repository for the complete license. We don't use any Riegl libraries, just their published file format, but in case it's unclear their file format is theirs, and all that.
