*RoMa* (which stands for Rotation Manipulation) provides differentiable mappings between 3D rotation representations, mappings from Euclidean to rotation space, and various utilities related to rotations.

It is implemented in PyTorch and aims to be an easy-to-use and reasonably efficient toolbox for Machine Learning and gradient-based optimization.

## Documentation
Latest documentation is available here: https://naver.github.io/roma/.

Below are some examples of use of *RoMa*:
```python
import torch
import roma

# Arbitrary numbers of batch dimensions are supported, for convenience.
batch_shape = (2, 3)

# Conversion between rotation representations
rotvec = torch.randn(batch_shape + (3,))
q = roma.rotvec_to_unitquat(rotvec)
R = roma.unitquat_to_rotmat(q)
Rbis = roma.rotvec_to_rotmat(rotvec)
euler_angles = roma.unitquat_to_euler('xyz', q, degrees=True)

# Regression of a rotation from an arbitrary input:
# Special Procrustes orthonormalization of a 3x3 matrix
R1 = roma.special_procrustes(torch.randn(batch_shape + (3, 3)))
# Conversion from a 6D representation
R2 = roma.special_gramschmidt(torch.randn(batch_shape + (3, 2)))
# From the 10 coefficients of a 4x4 symmetric matrix
q = roma.symmatrixvec_to_unitquat(torch.randn(batch_shape + (10,)))

# Metrics on the rotation space
R1, R2 = roma.random_rotmat(size=5), roma.random_rotmat(size=5)
theta = roma.utils.rotmat_geodesic_distance(R1, R2)
cos_theta = roma.utils.rotmat_cosine_angle(R1.transpose(-2, -1) @ R2)

# Operations on quaternions
q_identity = roma.quat_product(roma.quat_conjugation(q), q)

# Spherical interpolation between rotation vectors (shortest path)
rotvec0, rotvec1 = torch.randn(batch_shape + (3,)), torch.randn(batch_shape + (3,))
rotvec_interpolated = roma.rotvec_slerp(rotvec0, rotvec1, steps)

# Rigid transformation T composed of a rotation part R and a translation part t
t = torch.randn(batch_shape + (3,))
T = roma.Rigid(R, t)
# Composing and inverting transformations
identity = T @ T.inverse()
# Casting the result to a batch of 4x4 homogeneous matrices
M = identity.to_homogeneous()
```

## Installation
The easiest way to install *RoMa* is to use pip:
```
pip install roma
```

Alternatively one can install the latest version of *RoMa* directly from the source repository:
```
pip install git+https://github.com/naver/roma
```

**With old pytorch versions (torch<1.8)**, we recommend installing [torch-batch-svd](https://github.com/KinglittleQ/torch-batch-svd)
to achieve a significant speed-up with `special_procrustes` on CUDA GPUs.
You can check that this module is properly loaded using the function `roma.utils.is_torch_batch_svd_available()`.
**With recent pytorch installations (torch>=1.8), `torch-batch-svd` is no longer needed or used.**
