This specification describes a data file exchange format for three-dimensional (3D) imaging data, known as the ASTM E57 3D file format, Version 1.0. In this specification, the term "E57 file" is used as a short version of "ASTM E57 3D file format". An E57 file is capable of storing 3D point data (those produced by 3D imaging systems), attributes associated with 3D point data (color and intensity), and 2D imagery (digital photographs obtained using a 3D imaging system). This specification describes all data that will be stored in the file, which is a combination of binary and eXtensible Markup Language (XML) formats.
