A point cloud is a set of data points in some coordinate system. In a three-dimensional coordinate system, these points are usually defined by X, Y, and Z coordinates, and often are intended to represent the external surface of an object.

== How does it work or a deeper look ==
* If you are discussing a THING YOU CAN TOUCH, you must explain how it works, and the parts it is made of. Google around for an "exploded technical diagram" of your thing, [http://cdiok.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MRI-Technology.jpg maybe like this example of an MRI]  It is likely you will reference outside links. Please attribute your work.
* If you are discussing a PROCESS OR ABSTRACT CONCEPT (like [[fuzzy logic]]) you must deeply explain how it works.

Introduction[edit]

A point cloud is a set of data points in some coordinate system. In a three-dimensional coordinate system, these points are usually defined by X, Y, and Z coordinates, and often are intended to represent the external surface of an object. Point clouds may be created by 3D scanners.[2]
