CloudCompare is a 3D point cloud (and triangular mesh) processing software. It
was originally designed to perform comparison between two 3D points clouds
(such as the ones obtained with a laser scanner) or between a point cloud and a
triangular mesh. It relies on an octree structure that is highly optimized for
this particular use-case. It was also meant to deal with huge point clouds
(typically more than 10 millions points, and up to 120 millions with 2 Gb of
memory).
