Meshes vs Point Cloud

[RT1998]

Hi i am new to 3d computer vision and I have a small query

Can you provide an explanation of the relationship between meshes and point clouds, specifically in terms of their generation and utilization? Additionally, how can we differentiate between the use cases where point clouds are preferred over meshes, and vice versa, in various applications? Finally, is it possible to convert a texture-mapped mesh to a coloured point cloud by converting texture coordinates to vertices?

It's a long story for mesh vs point cloud. I can't briefly describe the difference between them in short words. Maybe you can search the answer on google?
