E57 file extension - 3D Imaging Data Exchange format

What is e57 file? How to open e57 files?

File type specification:

3d graphics, CAD-CAM-CAE file type icon 3d graphics, CAD-CAM-CAE file type

The e57 file extension is typically used for E57 3D Imaging Data Exchange format developed by the Data Interoperability sub-committee of the ASTM E57 Committee on 3D Imaging Systems.

The E57 File Format for 3D Imaging Data Exchange is capable of storing point cloud data from laser scanners and other 3D imaging systems, as well as associated 2D imagery and core meta-data.

The e57 file is encoded as a hierarchical tree structure, some of which is encoded in XML, and some of which is encoded in a binary format that is not XML. The bulk of the data, including point data and images, is encoded in the binary sections for efficiency.

Metadata, such as sensor pose information, is encoded in XML. The binary sections are not embedded in the XML section. Instead, they are located in separate sections of the file and referenced from the XML section.

The default software associated to open e57 file:

libE57  Microsoft Windows software

Company or developer:
ASTM Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems

The libE57 software is an open source implementation of the ASTM E2807 Standard Specification for 3D Imaging Data Exchange (known as the E57 format hereafter) in the C++ language

Help how to open:

E57 format can be for example opened with libE57 software.

How to convert:

Considering *.e57 files are used for exchange purpose, a conversion or export is perhaps possible.
