3D Geometry Data: Representations, Preprocessing, Modeling, and Serving
Prompt
You are working with 3D geometry data in ML pipelines for tasks such as classification, segmentation, detection, reconstruction, and simulation support. Explain:
-
Common 3D data representations (e.g., point clouds, meshes, voxels) and when to use each.
-
Typical preprocessing and augmentation steps for 3D data, including pitfalls.
-
How to model such data: architecture choices, losses, and metrics.
-
How to store, load, and serve 3D data efficiently for training and inference in production.
Make any minimal assumptions needed and be explicit about them.
