This is a framework for running common deep learning models for point cloud analysis tasks against classic benchmark. It heavily relies on Pytorch Geometric and Facebook Hydra.
The framework allows lean and yet complex model to be built with minimum effort and great reproducibility. It also provide a high level API to democratize deep learning on pointclouds.
- CUDA 10 or higher (if you want GPU version)
- Python 3.6 or higher + headers (python-dev)
- PyTorch 1.5 or higher (1.4 and 1.3.1 should also be working but are not actively supported moving forward)
- MinkowskiEngine (optional) see here for installation instructions

- segmentation
- classification
- registration
- object_detection
where each folder contains the dataset related to each task.

)We use Poetry for managing our packages. In order to get started, clone this repositories and run the following command from the root of the repo
poetry install --no-root
This will install all required dependencies in a new virtual environment.
Activate the environment
poetry shellYou can check that the install has been successful by running
python -m unittest -vThe repository is supporting Minkowski Engine which requires openblas-dev and nvcc if you have a CUDA device on your machine. First install openblas
sudo apt install libopenblas-devthen make sure that nvcc is in your path:
nvcc -VIf it's not then locate it (locate nvcc) and add its location to your PATH variable. On my machine:
export PATH="/usr/local/cuda-10.2/bin:$PATH"You are now in a position to install MinkowskiEngine with GPU support:
poetry run pip install git+git://github.com/StanfordVL/MinkowskiEngine.git#v0.4.3pip install pycudapoetry run python train.py task=segmentation model_type=pointnet2 model_name=pointnet2_charlesssg dataset=shapenet-fixedAnd you should see something like that
The config for pointnet++ is a good example of how to define a model and is as follow:

We provide a notebook based pyvista and panel that allows you to explore your past experiments visually. When using jupyter lab you will have to install an extension:
jupyter labextension install @pyviz/jupyterlab_pyviz
Run through the notebook and you should see a dashboard starting that looks like the following:
We provide a script for running a given pre trained model on custom data that may not be annotated. You will find an example of this for the part segmentation task on Shapenet. Just like for the rest of the codebase most of the customization happens through config files and the provided example can be extended to other datasets. You can also easily create your own from there. Going back to the part segmentation task, say you have a folder full of point clouds that you know are Airplanes, and you have the checkpoint of a model trained on Airplanes and potentially other classes, simply edit the config.yaml and shapenet.yaml and run the following command:
python forward_scripts/forward.pyThe result of the forward run will be placed in the specified output_folder and you can use the notebook provided to explore the results. Below is an example of the outcome of using a model trained on caps only to find the parts of airplanes and caps.
Finally, for people interested in deploying their models to production environments, we provide a Dockerfile as well as a build script. Say you have trained a network for semantic segmentation that gave the weight <outputfolder/weights.pt>, the following command will build a docker image for you:
cd docker
./build.sh outputfolder/weights.ptYou can then use it to run a forward pass on a all the point clouds in input_path and generate the results in output_path
docker run -v /test_data:/in -v /test_data/out:/out pointnet2_charlesssg:latest python3 forward_scripts/forward.py dataset=shapenet data.forward_category=Cap input_path="/in" output_path="/out"The -v option mounts a local directory to the container's file system. For example in the command line above, /test_data/out will be mounted at the location /out. As a consequence, all files written in /out will be available in the folder /test_data/out on your machine.
We advice to use snakeviz and cProfile
Use cProfile to profile your code
poetry run python -m cProfile -o {your_name}.prof train.py ... debugging.profiling=True
And visualize results using snakeviz.
snakeviz {your_name}.prof
It is also possible to use torch.utils.bottleneck
python -m torch.utils.bottleneck /path/to/source/script.py [args]
Ensure that at least PyTorch 1.4.0 is installed and verify that cuda/bin and cuda/include are in your $PATH and $CPATH respectively, e.g.:
$ python -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"
>>> 1.4.0
$ echo $PATH
>>> /usr/local/cuda/bin:...
$ echo $CPATH
>>> /usr/local/cuda/include:...
When we update the version of Pytorch that is used, the compiled packages need to be reinstalled, otherwise you will run into an error that looks like this:
... scatter_cpu.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _ZN3c1012CUDATensorIdEv
This can happen for the following libraries:
- torch-points-kernels
- torch-scatter
- torch-cluster
- torch-sparse
An easy way to fix this is to run the following command with the virtual env activated:
pip uninstall torch-scatter torch-sparse torch-cluster torch-points-kernels -y
rm -rf ~/.cache/pip
poetry install
This can happen when trying to run the code on a different GPU than the one used to compile the torch-points-kernels library. Uninstall torch-points-kernels, clear cache, and reinstall after setting the TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST environment variable. For example, for compiling with a Tesla T4 (Turing 7.5) and running the code on a Tesla V100 (Volta 7.0) use:
export TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST="7.0;7.5"
See this useful chart for more architecture compatibility.
Raises OSError: [WinError 6] The handle is invalid / wandb: ERROR W&B process failed to launch
Wandb is currently broken on Windows (see this issue), a workaround is to use the command line argument wandb.log=false
Contributions are welcome! The only asks are that you stick to the styling and that you add tests as you add more features!
For styling you can use pre-commit hooks to help you:
pre-commit install
A sequence of checks will be run for you and you may have to add the fixed files again to the stashed files.
When it comes to docstrings we use numpy style docstrings, for those who use Visual Studio Code, there is a great extension that can help with that. Install it and set the format to numpy and you should be good to go!
