Open3D: A Modern Library for 3D Data Processing

Homepage | Docs | Viewer App | Quick Start | Build from Source | Python API | C++ API | Contribute | Demo | Forum

Open3D is an open-source library that supports rapid development of software that deals with 3D data. The Open3D frontend exposes a set of carefully selected data structures and algorithms in both C++ and Python. The backend is highly optimized and is set up for parallelization. We welcome contributions from the open-source community.

Core features of Open3D includes:

• 3D data structures
• 3D data processing algorithms
• Scene reconstruction
• Surface alignment
• 3D visualization
• Physically based rendering (PBR)
• Available in C++ and Python

For more, please visit the Open3D documentation.

Open3D viewer app

Open3D now comes with a standalone 3D viewer app available on Ubuntu and macOS. Please stay tuned for Windows.

You can download Open3D viewer from our release page.

Python quick start

Pre-built pip and conda packages support Ubuntu 18.04+, macOS 10.14+ and Windows 10 (64-bit) with Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8. If you have other Python versions or operating systems, please compile Open3D from source.

• To install Open3D with pip:

  $ pip install open3d

• To install Open3D with Conda:

  $ conda install -c open3d-admin open3d

• To compile Open3D from source:

  • See compiling from source.

Test your installation with:

$ python -c "import open3d as o3d"

and follow the basic tutorials or Python examples to get started.

C++ quick start

Please refer to compiling from source and Open3D C++ interface.

Communication channels

• GitHub Issue: bug reports, feature requests, etc.
• Forum: discussion on the usage of Open3D.
• Discord Chat: online chats, discussions, and collaboration with other users and developers.
