::

    from lidar_platform import sbf
    sbf_data = sbf.read(sbf_file)  # sbf_data is an object of type SbfData
    xyz = sbf_data.xyz  # coordinates of the points as a NumPy array
    scalar_fields = sbf_data.sf  # scalar fields as a NumPy array
    scalar_fields_names = sbf_data.sf_names  # scalar fields names
