Can I read a point clouds from a .e57 files without any library?

Question

The libE57 is okay but I have to try to do this without any library. I found presentation and there I found next:

Binary Encoding

Blobs :

• Opaque encoding

• Images, user-defined data ....

"Opaque encoding" means that I can't read .e57 without libE57?

Is there some way to parse it?

I have a parser for a .pcd, .pts, .ptx. Can I convert a .e57 to one of them?

Answer 1

No. You can read data of .e57 only using libe57.
