Test Utility Tools from V1.1.312 This tool will extract the XML portion of an E57 file. >e57xmldump foo.e57 > foo.xml e57xmldump.exe 3.2MB This tool will validate an E57 file for compliance with the E2807 standard. >validate57 foo.e57 validate57.exe 1.2MB
1. Cartesian Points BunnyDouble.e57 - XYZ - 726KB BunnyFloat.e57 - XYZ - 366KB BunnyInt32.e57 - XYZ - 366KB BunnyInt24.e57 - XYZ - 276KB BunnyInt21.e57 - XYZ - 243KB BunnyInt19.e57 - XYZ - 220KB BunnyData.pts 860KB These are test point cloud data that are stored using different data types. All E57 Readers need to be able to import these and have the same percision of data.
2. Point Intensity and Color PumpACartesian.e57 (V2) - XYZ,INT,RGB - 5.3MB This is a list of points similar to the type of data found in a PTS file. 3. Spherical Points PumpASpherical.e57 (V2) - RAE,INT,RGB - 5.2MB This is a list of points using spherical coordinates. 4. Structured Point Sets PumpARowColumnIndex.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR - 6.2MB This is gridded scan data organized with rows and columns similar to the type of data found in a PTX file. PumpARowColumnIndexNoInvalidPoints.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR - 2.6MB This is the same gridded scan data where invalid points were removed. (An invalid point occurs when the scanner has no return value). Because each point has its own row and column index, the data becomes a sparse matrix of only valid points. 5. Multiple Returns PumpARowColumnIndex3ReturnIndex.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,RET,STR - 7.9MB This is a generated scan where every point has 2 multiple returns points offset by 20 cm each. The pump will be duplicated 3 times shifted by the 20 cm. 6. Point Groups PumpAGroupByLineRowColumnIndex.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,GRP - 6.2MB This has a GroupByLine list where each scan line (column) of data can be access individually. PumpAGroupByLineRowColumnIndexNoInvalidPoints.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,GRP - 2.6MB PumpA.ptx 12MB This is a single structured scan stored as cartesian and spherical points. Data includes intensity and RGB color. All E57 Readers need to be able to import these. © Copyright 2008, Carnahan-Proctor and Cross, Inc.
7. Multiple Scans Pump.e57 (V3) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,MUL - 52.5MB This has multiple registered scans where the pose information is given on each scan. PumpNoInvalidPoints.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,MUL - 22.1MB Pump.ptx 92MB This scene has 5 scans with intensity and RGB data and has rotation and translation information. This was scanned using a Leica Scanstation in 06-18-2008. It was converted to E57 using LD3 Studio V5.1. © Copyright 2008, Carnahan-Proctor and Cross, Inc.	Sewer treatment plant pump room.
8. Visual Reference Imagery PumpAVisualReferenceImage.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,GRP,REF - 4.4MB This has a single scan with Visual Reference jpeg of the Sewer treatment plant pump room image above. 9. Extensions PumpARowColumnIndexWithExtensions.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,GRP,EXT - 3.0MB This is a single scan that has some extra data encoded as an typical extension. This includes some extra data between the point data fields. All readers need to be able to read this file and ignore the extension data.
10. Spherical Imagery Station018.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,SPH - 117MB Station018.jpg 36MB This is a single scan taken with a Leica C10 scanner and Nodel Ninja Panoramic camera. The 271 MB ptx file and 36 MB jpg was reduced to an 117MB e57 file. Further zipping the e57 file only produced a 103MB zip file. It was converted to E57 using LD3 Studio V5.1. © Copyright 2010, McNiel Engineering.	This street veiw is a 40M Pixel corrected undistorted 360 degree (8976 pixels) by 180 degree (4488 pixels) spherical image.
11. Faro Data - Large scan with PNG file Imagery gargage.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,SPH - 548.3MB parking000.png 28MB This scene has a large 27M point 360 degree scan and a PNG image using the spherical projection camera model. It was scanned using a new Faro Focus 3D scanner. Next release of FARO SCENE software will support E57. © Copyright 2011, FARO Technologies Inc.
12. Leica Data - Multiple Images, Structure Points and Pinhole Imagery Parking-lot-updated.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,GRP,MUL,PIN,MIM - 267.3MB This scene has three 360 degree scans and multiple jpg images using the pinhole projection camera model. It was scanned using a Leica ScanStation 2 and converted to E57 using Leica's Cyclone release. WARNING: There are no scan names given, the image names has a illegal file name character(:), and the camera orientation is Z forward and Y down. (E57 standard is Z backward and Y up). © Copyright 2011, Leica Geosystems
13. Calabi Yau Systems Data - Multiple Scans, Structure Points and Spherical Imagery Manitou.e57 (V4) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,GRP,MUL,SPH - 72MB ManitouNoInvalidPoints.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,STR,GRP,MUL,SPH - 21.2MB This scene has 5 scans and 5 jpg images using the spherical projection camera model. It was scanned using a Reigl Z420I scanner with an LD3 Texel Camera on top in July 2007. It was converted to E57 using LD3 Studio V5.1. © Copyright 2012, Calabi Yau Systems LLC.
14. Riegl Data - Multiple Scans, Multiple Images, Multiple Returns openpitmine.e57 (V4) - XYZ,INT,RGB,RET,MUL,PIN,MIM,RLMS - 553MB This scene has data from a couple of scanpositions together with images. The images have been used to color the scans. The data has been obtained by a Riegl V-Line series instrument. The E57 export has been created with a preliminary version of the RiScanPro exporter. © Copyright 2011, Riegl LMS GmbH.
15. Trimble Data - Muliple Scans point cloud Trimble_StSulpice-Cloud-50mm.e57 (V1) - XYZ,INT,RGB,MUL - 144MB This scene was scanned in Paris using a Trimble TX8 for project Terra Mobilita. Color has been captured with a Nikon 7100 using a fish eye Sigma 10mm. Colorization and export to e57 has been done using Trimble RealWorks 8.1. The project contains one multi-station file (5 scans down-sampled at 50mm going down from 650 M point to 8 M point) and two files containing gridded scans (down-sampled from ~120 M point to 2 M point each). Gridded files are stored as spherical coordinates and non-gridded ones use XYZ. © Copyright 2014, Trimble Navigation Limited.
