georeferenced point cloud

A point cloud that has been scaled, moved, and rotated so as to make certain points in the point cloud match up with georeferencing points. Because the georeferencing points are expressed in a coordinate system, each point in a georeferenced point cloud is now in the same coordinate system. Mathematically speaking, the point cloud should be scaled as it is moved and rotated, but not all georeferencing software does that. If it is scaled in the georeferencing process, it becomes a grid-scaledgeoreferenced point cloud. If it is not, it becomes a ground-scaled georeferenced point cloud.
