PCL has a nice data repository, that contains point clouds in the PCD format, which can be easily read using PCL tools. However, there are many other sites with free downloadable data (in various formats). The following is a short list of such sites containing links to data that is free to use for educational work; for other purposes you should see licenses for detail. Also, if you wish to add to this list feel free to submit to the forum or email me directly (hielsber).
