pytorch_points - a python library for learning point clouds on pytorch

This library implements and collects some useful functions commonly used for point cloud processing. Many of the functions are adapted from the code base of amazing researchers. Thank you! (see related repositories for a comprehensive list.)

structures

• _ext: cuda extensions,
  • losses: "chamfer distance"
  • sampling: "farthest_sampling", "ball_query"
• network: common pytorch layers and operations for point cloud processing
  • operations: "group_KNN", "batch_normals"
  • layers
• utils: utility functions including functions for point cloud in/output etc
  • pc_utils
