Point Clouds

Explore the concept of point clouds as lists of points in 3D space including their features like coordinates and normals. Understand their versatility for representing scanned objects, their use in classification, segmentation, and 3D reconstruction. Learn to create and visualize point clouds using PyTorch3D tools.

The point cloud

A point cloud is simply a list of points in a 3D Euclidean space. Point clouds can represent many things, such as the surface of a scanned object, particles moving through a volume, or key points in a 3D scene. In addition to its (x,y,z)(x, y, z) coordinates, each point can also contain a ...
