Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory (SBET) Format

A buddy of mine in the LiDAR industry asked me if we had any software which could handle the Applanix SBET binary format.  I wasn't familiar with it but it turns out on Google the only parsers you can find just happend to be in Python. 

I'm still not 100% sure what these datasets do so if you know feel free to post a comment.

So if you need to work with this format here are two options:

And if you're into LiDAR you are probably already aware of PyLAS for the LAS format;
