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.
