Archeology
GRASS GIS is used in many archaeological projects.

Data exchange
- v.in.ply: import of PLY format (3D)
- v.in.dxf: import of DXF format (2D and 3D)
- v.out.dxf: export of DXF format (2D and 3D)
- many other formats..
Georeferencing
- Georeferencing of point clouds: get your data from an arbitrary coordinates system into real world projections: v.rectify. It also perform 3D transformation (affine and polynomial). Working even with very large point clouds (several million points in a few minutes).
