DepthAnything v2 Tutorial: How to Convert 2D Images to 3D Models with Python

3 weeks ago | medium.com | Florent Poux

3D PythonLearn to convert any image into detailed 3D models using AI and Python. No specialized hardware is required — just follow this step-by-step guide. Imagine transforming any photograph in your collection into an immersive 3D model that you can rotate, explore, and even 3D print — all without specialized equipment. Until recently, creating 3D models required expensive hardware setups, multiple camera angles, or painstaking manual modeling.
How to Generate Synthetic 3D Point Cloud Rooms with Python

1 month ago | medium.com | Florent Poux

3D PythonTutorial to generate labeled 3D point cloud (.ply) rooms with Python for data augmentation. Practical Python code examples using NumPy and Open3D. Collecting 3D point cloud data takes time. This means it can be expensive, time-consuming, and prone to generating massive datasets.

11 Methods and Hardware Tools for 3D Scanning and Data Capture

Jan 31, 2025 | towardsdatascience.com | Florent Poux

3D ToolsThe toolbox for data curation and 3D scanning: LiDAR, mesh, city models, 3D assets, hardware recommendations, photogrammetry, and AI methods for 3D reconstruction. I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about the tools we use in 3D data processing and how they shape both our work and our thinking. I was reminded of a quote I love:“A good tool improves the way you work.

3D Data Clustering with Graph Theory: Complete Guide

Dec 2, 2024 | towardsdatascience.com | Florent Poux

3D PythonPython Tutorial for Euclidean Clustering of 3D Point Clouds with Graph Theory. Fundamental concepts and sequential workflow for unsupervised segmentation. Aside from sounding cool, why do I take three weeks off to write a Python tutorial on graph theory for 3D data? The short answer is that it is extremely useful for understanding 3D scenes. It can transform how efficiently you process 3D datasets for decision-making scenarios. But there are many challenges to be aware of.
Transform Point Clouds into 3D Meshes: A Python Guide

Nov 1, 2024 | towardsdatascience.com | Florent Poux

3D PythonLearn how to generate 3D meshes from point cloud data with Python. This tutorial culminates in a 3D Modelling app with the Marching Cubes algorithm. The world of 3D data is often a fragmented landscape. There are point clouds, which are rich in detail but lack surface information. There are 3D meshes, which define surfaces explicitly but are often complex to create.
Learn to Visualize Massive Point Clouds + 3D Mesh with No-Code Tools

Oct 22, 2024 | towardsdatascience.com | Florent Poux

3D Point CloudA no-code tutorial to manage massive point clouds (250+ million points) and 3D meshes with 2 open-source solutions. Visualizing massive point clouds can be a real headache. If you struggle to handle massive point clouds — I’m talking billion-point scale — or massive 3D meshes with many triangles, handling various file formats, and you don’t have the coding skills to automate everything, then I have a solution for you.
