Is PointCloud equal Point Cloud?

Hi guys,

I am starting up with laser scanning and data processing and what I understood so far is that the biggest challenge is the handling of the point cloud. Does every PointCloud contains the same information even when it comes from several manufactures?

Thanks,

PointCloud Processing Unit ;-)

PointCloud

a pointcloud contains:

x,y,z coordinates (normally in polar coordinate format)
intensety or reflectivity for each point in the pointcloud
color information if the scanner comes with camera option
