# Pytorch Chamfer Distance.
Include a **CUDA** version, and a **PYTHON** version with pytorch standard operations.
NB : In this depo, dist1 and dist2 are squared pointcloud euclidean distances, so you should adapt thresholds accordingly.
- [x] F - Score
### CUDA VERSION
- [x] JIT compilation
- [x] Supports multi-gpu
- [x] 2D point clouds.
- [x] 3D point clouds.
- [x] 5D point clouds.
- [x] Contiguous() safe.
### Python Version
- [x] Supports any dimension
### Usage
```python
import torch, chamfer3D.dist_chamfer_3D, fscore
chamLoss = chamfer3D.dist_chamfer_3D.chamfer_3DDist()
points1 = torch.rand(32, 1000, 3).cuda()
points2 = torch.rand(32, 2000, 3, requires_grad=True).cuda()
dist1, dist2, idx1, idx2 = chamLoss(points1, points2)
f_score, precision, recall = fscore.fscore(dist1, dist2)
```
### Add it to your project as a submodule
```shell
git submodule add https://github.com/ThibaultGROUEIX/ChamferDistancePytorch
```
### Benchmark: [forward + backward] pass
- [x] CUDA 10.1, NVIDIA 435, Pytorch 1.4
- [x] p1 : 32 x 2000 x dim
- [x] p2 : 32 x 1000 x dim

### What is the chamfer distance ?
[Stanford course](http://graphics.stanford.edu/courses/cs468-17-spring/LectureSlides/L14%20-%203d%20deep%20learning%20on%20point%20cloud%20representation%20(analysis).pdf) on 3D deep Learning
### Aknowledgment
Original backbone from [Fei Xia](https://github.com/fxia22/pointGAN/blob/master/nndistance/src/nnd_cuda.cu).
JIT cool trick from [Christian Diller](https://github.com/chrdiller)
### Troubleshoot
- `Undefined symbol: Zxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx `:
--> Fix: Make sure to `import torch` before you `import chamfer`.
--> Use pytorch.version >= 1.1.0
- [RuntimeError: Ninja is required to load C++ extension](https://github.com/zhanghang1989/PyTorch-Encoding/issues/167)
```shell
wget https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases/download/v1.8.2/ninja-linux.zip
sudo unzip ninja-linux.zip -d /usr/local/bin/
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ninja ninja /usr/local/bin/ninja 1 --force
```
#### TODO:
* Discuss behaviour of torch.min() and tensor.min() which causes issues in some pytorch versions
