1# Open3D: A Modern Library for 3D Data Processing 2 3[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/IntelVCL/Open3D.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/IntelVCL/Open3D) 4[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/sau3yewsyxaxpkqe?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/syncle/open3d) 5 6## About this project 7 8Open3D is an open-source library that supports rapid development of software that deals with 3D data. The Open3D frontend exposes a set of carefully selected data structures and algorithms in both C++ and Python. The backend is highly optimized and is set up for parallelization. We welcome contributions from the open-source community. 9 10Please cite our work if you use Open3D. 11``` 12@article{Zhou2018, 13 author = {Qian-Yi Zhou and Jaesik Park and Vladlen Koltun}, 14 title = {{Open3D}: {A} Modern Library for {3D} Data Processing}, 15 journal = {arXiv:1801.09847}, 16 year = {2018}, 17} 18``` 19 20## Core features 21 22* Basic 3D data structures 23* Basic 3D data processing algorithms 24* Scene reconstruction 25* Surface alignment 26* 3D visualization 27* Python binding 28 29## Supported compilers 30 31* GCC 4.8 and later on Linux 32* XCode 8.0 and later on OS X 33* Visual Studio 2015 update 3 and later on Windows 34 35## Resources 36 37* Website: [open3d.org](http://www.open3d.org) 38* Code: [github.com/IntelVCL/Open3D](https://github.com/IntelVCL/Open3D) 39* Document: [open3d.org/docs](http://www.open3d.org/docs) 40* Getting started: [open3d.org/docs/getting_started.html](http://open3d.org/docs/getting_started.html) 41* License: [The MIT license](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) 42
