Usage

import torch
import torch_pointcloud as tp
from torch_pointcloud.utils.data import collate

model, info = tp.create_model(
    "point-bert-base.dvae.xumin-yu",
    pretrained=True,
    return_info=True,
)
model = model.eval()

# synthetic sample with the keys a dataset provides
num_points = 8192
sample = {
    "pos": torch.randn(num_points, 3),
}
data = collate([sample])

with torch.no_grad():
    out = model(data.get("x"), data["pos"], data["batch"])
