Libraries and models for 3D perception

A curated index of the 3D learning stack, connecting software and neural operators to geometric features, registration, spatio-temporal models, and open-vocabulary scene understanding.

  • Neural network libraries
  • 3D representation learning
  • 4D perception
  • Registration
  • Scene understanding

Implementations 02

The systems behind the work.

Core libraries for efficient 3D learning.

  1. Open-source library / CUDA

    WarpConvNet

    A high-performance 3D deep-learning library that brings sparse voxel convolution, point operations, and attention into one CUDA-native system.

  2. Open-source library / N-D

    MinkowskiEngine

    The auto-differentiation library for high-dimensional sparse tensors that introduced generalized sparse convolution as a practical neural-network operator.
