Summary: Use aten instead of torch interface in all cuda code. This allows the cuda build to work with pytorch 1.5 with GCC 5 (e.g. the compiler of ubuntu 16.04LTS). This wasn't working. It has been failing with errors like the below, perhaps due to a bug in nvcc. ``` torch/include/torch/csrc/api/include/torch/nn/cloneable.h:68:61: error: invalid static_cast from type ‘const torch::OrderedDict<std::basic_string<char>, std::shared_ptr<torch::nn::Module> >’ to type ‘torch::OrderedDict<std::basic_string<char>, std::shared_ptr<torch::nn::Module> > ``` Reviewed By: nikhilaravi Differential Revision: D21204029 fbshipit-source-id: ca6bdbcecf42493365e1c23a33fe35e1759fe8b6
Introduction
PyTorch3D provides efficient, reusable components for 3D Computer Vision research with PyTorch.
Key features include:
- Data structure for storing and manipulating triangle meshes
- Efficient operations on triangle meshes (projective transformations, graph convolution, sampling, loss functions)
- A differentiable mesh renderer
PyTorch3D is designed to integrate smoothly with deep learning methods for predicting and manipulating 3D data. For this reason, all operators in PyTorch3D:
- Are implemented using PyTorch tensors
- Can handle minibatches of hetereogenous data
- Can be differentiated
- Can utilize GPUs for acceleration
Within FAIR, PyTorch3D has been used to power research projects such as Mesh R-CNN.
