+# PyTorch Point-cloud Earth-Mover-Distance (EMD) Implementation
+
+## Dependency
+
+The code has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04, PyTorch 1.1.0, CUDA 9.0.
+
+## Usage
+
+First compile using
+        
+        python setup.py install
+
+Then, copy the lib file out to the main directory,
+
+        cp build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.6/emd_cuda.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so .
+
+Then, you can use it by simply
+
+        from emd import earth_mover_distance
+        d = earth_mover_distance(p1, p2, transpose=False)  # p1: B x N1 x 3, p2: B x N2 x 3
+
+Check `test_emd_loss.py` for example.
+
