What is an SBF file

SBF files mostly belong to RSD Lite by Motorola. SBF is a text data file used by CloudCompare. CloudCompare is a 3D editing and processing software that works with point clouds and triangular meshes.

Usage: An SBF file contains the metadata associated with a point cloud or triangular mesh that's been created. It always accompanies a second, data SBF file that contains the raw data that defines the point cloud or triangular mesh.
Structure: The metadata SBF file is a text file that has the same structure as an INI file - it has defined blocks containing variable names and their associated values, along with different options denoted by a single letter. The main, data SBF file, however, is a binary file whose contents are divided into two distinct blocks: "Header" and "Body". The "Header" has a length of 64 bytes and contains discrete values such as the total number of points in the points cloud. The "Body" has a length that is dependant on the number of points and defines the raw data of each point such as its coordinates.
Related associations: SBF could also refer to a Superase database file.

SBF format details:

To view or edit SBF files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the SBF files looks like this:

The SBF file extension is quite common and covers different formats for different programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

30% of all SBF files start with the bytes SB crucial for this file format. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The files are on average 630 KB in size and range from 72 KB to 39 MB. This file type was primarily in use more than 20 years ago. The keywords brand, image_flags, os_version, package_name, package_version, sdk_version, model, SEMC, com.spritemobile.backup.semc2, 2.1-update1 and 010935 are typical for these files. Examples of file names are 2020-06-01.sbf. Files like these are about backup, gamemus and xperia.
15% of all SBF files use ZIP compression, so several files are combined and compressed into one SBF file. Primarily 1 to 13 files are included. A little tip: If you rename the file extension to .zip and then double-click, you will see the included files and images. The average file size is 1 MB with most files being between 84 KB and 5 MB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: dbfile and sleekbill. Such files sometimes refer to decorators, furniture, hardik and solutions, and often contain personal information.
