Highlight

• All initialization models and trained models are available.
• Provide fast multiprocessing training (nn.parallel.DistributedDataParallel) with official nn.SyncBatchNorm.
• Incorporated with tensorboardX for better visualization of the whole training process.
• Support recent versions of PyTorch.
• Well designed code structures for easy reading and using.

Usage

We provide scripts for different point cloud processing tasks:

• Object Classification task on Modelnet40.

• Shape Part Segmentation task on ShapeNetPart.

• Indoor Scene Segmentation task on S3DIS.

You can find the instructions for running these tasks in the above corresponding folders.
