orthographic-projector 0.1.2

Generate orthographic projections from a Point Cloud.

Orthographic Projector

A Rust-based Python library for generating cubic orthographic projections from point clouds.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or later
• rustc 1.77.2 or later
• pip

Setup

From PyPI

pip install orthographic_projector
# or
python -m pip install orthographic_projector

From source

# Clone this repository
https://github.com/akaTsunemori/orthographic_projector.git

# cd into the project folder
cd orthographic_projector

# Setup a virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate the virtual environment
source ./venv/bin/activate

# Install the prerequisites
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Compile the project into a python module using maturin
maturin develop -r

Usage

import numpy as np
import open3d as o3d
import time
import cv2
import orthographic_projector


def save_projections(projections):
    for i in range(len(projections)):
        image = projections[i].astype(np.uint8)
        image_bgr = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)
        cv2.imwrite(f'projection_{i}.png', image_bgr)


# Load the point cloud through open3d
PC_PATH = './examples/redandblack_vox10_1550.ply'
pc = o3d.io.read_point_cloud(PC_PATH)
points, colors = np.asarray(pc.points), np.asarray(pc.colors)

# orthographic_projector parameters
precision = 10
filtering = 2
crop = True
save = True

print('Generating projections...')
t0 = time.time()
# The generate_projections function can be used for generating the projections
images, ocp_maps = orthographic_projector.generate_projections(points, colors, precision, filtering)
# The crop parameter could optionally be passed to the generate_projections function,
# but it can also be called after the generation process
if crop:
    images, ocp_maps = orthographic_projector.apply_cropping(images, ocp_maps)
t1 = time.time()
print(f'Done. Time taken: {(t1-t0):.2f} s')

# The save_projections function is just an example intended for visualization of the results
if save:
    save_projections(images)

This example is also available in the examples/example_generate_projections.py folder.

Results

These are the generated projections to be expected from the provided example.
