# Model card for act.dvae.runpei-dong

An ACT self-supervised pretraining model (masked point transformer distilled from a 2D image transformer). Pretrained on ShapeNet-55.

## Model Details

- **Model Type:** Self-supervised pretraining
- **Model Stats:**
  - Params (M): 116.2
- **Dataset:** ShapeNet-55
- **Paper:** [Autoencoders as Cross-Modal Teachers: Can Pretrained 2D Image Transformers Help 3D Representation Learning?](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.08320)
- **Converted from:** [RunpeiDong/ACT](https://github.com/RunpeiDong/ACT) (MIT)
- **Library:** [torch-pointcloud](https://github.com/arthurdjn/pytorch-pointcloud)

## Install

```bash
pip install torch-pointcloud
```

## Usage

```python
import torch
import torch_pointcloud as tp
from torch_pointcloud.utils.data import collate

model, info = tp.create_model(
    "act.dvae.runpei-dong",
    pretrained=True,
    return_info=True,
)
model = model.eval()

# synthetic sample with the keys a dataset provides
num_points = 8192
sample = {
    "pos": torch.randn(num_points, 3),
}
data = collate([sample])

with torch.no_grad():
    out = model(data.get("x"), data["pos"], data["batch"])
```
