3D Scanning & LiDAR
ASTM E2807 Standard 3D Data Exchange
Standardized Definition
ASTM E2807 is the internationally accepted standard specification for 3D image data exchange (.E57 format). It enables high-density point clouds, 3D coordinates, color intensity attributes, and panoramic camera imagery captured by terrestrial scanners (such as Matterport Pro3) to be transferred seamlessly into CAD, BIM, and GIS software without data corruption.
Applicable Standards
- ASTM E2807-11 Standard
- E57 File Format Spec
Industry Applications & Use Cases
- Vendor-Neutral 3D Point Cloud Archiving
- Seamless Data Transfer Between LiDAR Scanners and CAD/BIM
- Preservation of Color & Spatial Coordinate Integrity
Related Glossary Terms
3D Point Cloud (.E57 / .RCS)
A dense collection of millions of spatial x, y, z points captured by 3D LiDAR laser scanners defining exact building geometry.
Matterport Pro3 LiDAR Camera
High-density terrestrial 3D laser scanner emitting 1.5 million points per second for indoor and outdoor sub-centimeter spatial capture.
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)
A high-precision optical scanning technology using pulsed laser light to measure distances and capture millimetric 3D point clouds.
