PTX & PTS are ASCII based interchange formats for point cloud data. Compatible with the Leica [https://leica-geosystems.com/en-us/products/laser-scanners/software/leica-cyclone Cyclone] system.

PTX files contain more information from the LIDAR scan as well as registration information, PTS files are considered "Dumb" as they only contain point data.<ref>http://gmv.cast.uark.edu/uncategorized/file-formats-exporting-your-data/</ref>

==File Identification==

PTX & PTS files are ASCII text formatted with a few header lines and then point data<ref>http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/ptx/</ref><ref>https://sites.google.com/site/matterformscanner/learning-references/ptx-format</ref>:

<pre>
number of columns
number of rows
st1 st2 st3 ; scanner registered position
sx1 sx2 sx3 ; scanner registered axis 'X'
sy1 sy2 sy3 ; scanner registered axis 'Y'
sz1 sz2 sz3 ; scanner registered axis 'Z'
r11 r12 r13 0 ; transformation matrix
r21 r22 r23 0 ; this is a simple rotation and translation 4x4 matrix
r31 r32 r33 0 ; just apply to each point to get the transformed coordinate
tr1 tr2 tr3 1 ; use double-precision variables
