`visu3d` is an abstraction layer between Torch/TF/Jax/Numpy and your program.
It provides:

*   Standard primitives for 3d geometry (`Ray`, `Camera`, `Transform`,...).
    You can combine those standard primitives with your custom ones.
*   Everything is trivially visualizable with zero boilerplate. Inspect & debug
    camera poses, trajectories,...
*   All primitives are
    [`dataclass_array`](https://github.com/google-research/dataclass_array),
    dataclasses which can be reshaped, sliced,... as if they were numpy arrays.
*   Everything is extensible, you can gradually opt-in only for the features you
    need, and replace any standard primitive by your custom ones.

### Core features

<section class="zippy">

Everything is a `v3d.DataclassArray`: **dataclass behave like `np.array`** (with
indexing, slicing, shape manipulation, vectorization,...).

```python
# Single ray
ray = v3d.Ray(pos=[0, 0, 0], dir=[1, 1, 1])
assert rays.shape == ()

# Multiple rays batched together
rays = v3d.Ray(pos=np.zeros((B, H, W, 3)), dir=np.ones((B, H, W, 3)))
assert rays.shape == (B, H, W)

rays = rays.reshape('b h w -> b (h w)')  #  Native `einops` support

top_left_ray = rays[..., 0, 0]  #  (b, h, w) -> (b,)

rays = rays.flatten()
rays = rays[rays.norm() > 0]  # Filter invalid rays
```

</section>
<section class="zippy">

Everything is **visualizable interactively**

Every object has a `.fig` property for interactive visualization:

```python
rays.fig  # Plot the rays
```

Display multiple objects together:

```python
v3d.make_fig([cam, rays, point_cloud])
```

Auto-plot figures with Colab magic:

```python
v3d.auto_plot_figs()  # Once at the start of the Colab

cam, rays, point_cloud  # Tuple auto-displayed without `v3d.make_fig` call
```

</section>
<section class="zippy">

Same code seamlessly **works across Torch, Jax, TensorFlow, Numpy**.

```python
rays = rays.as_jax()  # .as_tf(), as_np(), .as_jax()
assert isinstance(rays.pos, jnp.ndarray)
assert rays.xnp is jnp

rays = rays.as_torch()
assert isinstance(rays.pos, torch.Tensor)
assert rays.xnp is torch
```

With native support for auto-diff, `jax.vmap`, `jax.tree_utils`,...

### Privitives

<section class="zippy">

Common primitives (`Ray`, `Camera`, `Transform`,...), so user can express
intent, instead of math.

```python
H, W = (256, 1024)
cam_spec = v3d.PinholeCamera.from_focal(
    resolution=(H, W),
    focal_in_px=35.,
)
cam = v3d.Camera.from_look_at(
    spec=cam_spec,
    pos=[5, 5, 5],
    target=[0, 0, 0],  # Camera looks at the scene center
)

rays = cam.rays()  # Rays in world coordinates

# Project `(*shape, 3)` world coordinates into `(*shape, 2)` pixel coordinates.
px_coords = cam.px_from_world @ point_cloud
```

See [the API](https://github.com/google-research/visu3d/tree/main/visu3d/__init__.py)<!-- {.external} !-->
for a full list of primitive.

</section>
<section class="zippy">

Creating your own primitives is trivial.

Converting any dataclass to dataclass array is trivial:

*   Inherit from `v3d.DataclassArray`
*   Use
    [`etils.array_types`](https://github.com/google/etils/blob/main/etils/array_types/README.md)
    to annotate the array fields (or exlicitly use `my_field: Any =
    dca.field(shape=, dtype=)` instead of `dataclasses.field`)

```python
from etils.array_types import FloatArray


class MyRay(v3d.DataclassArray):
  pos: FloatArray[..., 3]
  dir: FloatArray[..., 3]


rays = MyRay(pos=jnp.zeros((H, W, 3)), dir=jnp.ones((H, W, 3)))
assert rays.shape == (H, W)
```

`v3d` makes it easy to opt-in to the feature you need by implementing the
corresponding protocol.
