SBF Simple Binary File

A module to handle files in the SBF format (Simple Binary File). SBF is an internal format of CloudCompare used to store single point clouds with their associated scalar fields.

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
