What are Point Clouds?

An object can be replicated by creating its 3D model and then using a 3D printer. Another important application can be found in manufacturing industries for inspection purposes. Minute cracks, faults or problems can be detected easily by comparing the reconstructed 3D model with the known model. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM): SLAM is a technique used to create map of the surrounding environment. It is very useful in robotics and self-driving cars.
