A Python package for high-quality Laplace matrices on meshes and point clouds. `pip install robust_laplacian`
The Laplacian is at the heart of many algorithms across geometry processing, simulation, and machine learning. This library builds a high-quality, robust Laplace matrix which often improves the performance of these algorithms, and wraps it all up in a simple, single-function API!
**Sample**: computing eigenvectors of the point cloud Laplacian

Given as input a triangle mesh with arbitrary connectivity (could be nonmanifold, have boundary, etc), OR a point cloud, this library builds an `NxN` sparse Laplace matrix, where `N` is the number of vertices/points. This Laplace matrix is similar to the _cotan-Laplacian_ used widely in geometric computing, but internally the algorithm constructs an _intrinsic Delaunay triangulation_ of the surface, which gives the Laplace matrix great numerical properties. The resulting Laplacian is always a symmetric positive-definite matrix, with all positive edge weights. Additionally, this library performs _intrinsic mollification_ to alleviate floating-point issues with degenerate triangles.
The resulting Laplace matrix `L` is a "weak" Laplace matrix, so we also generate a diagonal lumped mass matrix `M`, where each diagonal entry holds an area associated with the mesh element. The "strong" Laplacian can then be formed as `M^-1 L`, or a Poisson problem could be solved as `L x = M y`.
A [C++ implementation and demo](https://github.com/nmwsharp/nonmanifold-laplacian) is available.
This library implements the algorithm described in [A Laplacian for Nonmanifold Triangle Meshes](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~kmcrane/Projects/NonmanifoldLaplace/NonmanifoldLaplace.pdf) by [Nicholas Sharp](http://nmwsharp.com) and [Keenan Crane](http://keenan.is/here) at SGP 2020 (where it won a best paper award!). See the paper for more details, and please use the citation given at the bottom if it contributes to academic work.
### Example
Build a point cloud Laplacian, compute its first 10 eigenvectors, and visualize with [Polyscope](https://polyscope.run/py/)
```shell
pip install numpy scipy plyfile polyscope robust_laplacian
```
```py
import robust_laplacian
from plyfile import PlyData
import numpy as np
import polyscope as ps
import scipy.sparse.linalg as sla
# Read input
plydata = PlyData.read("/path/to/cloud.ply")
points = np.vstack((
plydata['vertex']['x'],
plydata['vertex']['y'],
plydata['vertex']['z']
)).T
# Build point cloud Laplacian
L, M = robust_laplacian.point_cloud_laplacian(points)
# (or for a mesh)
# L, M = robust_laplacian.mesh_laplacian(verts, faces)
# Compute some eigenvectors
n_eig = 10
evals, evecs = sla.eigsh(L, n_eig, M, sigma=1e-8)
# Visualize
ps.init()
ps_cloud = ps.register_point_cloud("my cloud", points)
for i in range(n_eig):
ps_cloud.add_scalar_quantity("eigenvector_"+str(i), evecs[:,i], enabled=True)
ps.show()
```
**_NOTE:_** No one can agree on the sign convention for the Laplacian. This library builds the _positive semi-definite_ Laplace matrix, where the diagonal entries are positive and off-diagonal entries are negative. This is the _opposite_ of the sign used by e.g. libIGL in `igl.cotmatrix`, so you may need to flip a sign when converting code.
### API
This package exposes just two functions:
- `mesh_laplacian(verts, faces, mollify_factor=1e-5)`
- `verts` is an `V x 3` numpy array of vertex positions
- `faces` is an `F x 3` numpy array of face indices, where each is a 0-based index referring to a vertex
- `mollify_factor` amount of intrinsic mollifcation to perform. `0` disables, larger values will increase numerical stability, while very large values will slightly implicitly smooth out the geometry. The range of reasonable settings is roughly `0` to `1e-3`. The default value should usually be sufficient.
- `return L, M` a pair of scipy sparse matrices for the Laplacian `L` and mass matrix `M`
- `point_cloud_laplacian(points, mollify_factor=1e-5, n_neighbors=30)`
- `points` is an `V x 3` numpy array of point positions
- `mollify_factor` amount of intrinsic mollifcation to perform. `0` disables, larger values will increase numerical stability, while very large values will slightly implicitly smooth out the geometry. The range of reasonable settings is roughly `0` to `1e-3`. The default value should usually be sufficient.
- `n_neighbors` is the number of nearest neighbors to use when constructing local triangulations. This parameter has little effect on the resulting matrices, and the default value is almost always sufficient.
- `return L, M` a pair of scipy sparse matrices for the Laplacian `L` and mass matrix `M`
### Installation
The package is availabe via `pip`
```
pip install robust_laplacian
```
The underlying algorithm is implemented in C++; the pypi entry includes precompiled binaries for many platforms.
Very old versions of `pip` might need to be upgraded like `pip install pip --upgrade` to use the precompiled binaries.
Alternately, if no precompiled binary matches your system `pip` will attempt to compile from source on your machine. This requires a working C++ toolchain, including cmake.
### Known limitations
- For point clouds, this repo uses a simple method to generate planar Delaunay triangulations, which may not be totally robust to collinear or degenerate point clouds.
### Dependencies
This python library is mainly a wrapper around the implementation in the [geometry-central](http://geometry-central.net) library; see there for further dependencies. Additionally, this library uses [pybind11](https://github.com/pybind/pybind11) to generate bindings, and [jc_voronoi](https://github.com/JCash/voronoi) for 2D Delaunay triangulation on point clouds. All are permissively licensed.

### For developers
This repo is configured with CI on github actions to build wheels across platform.
### Deploy a new version
- Commit the desired version to the `master` branch, be sure the version string in `setup.py` corresponds to the new version number. Include the string `[ci build]` in the commit message to ensure a build happens.
- Watch th github actions builds to ensure the test & build stages succeed and all wheels are compiled.
- While you're waiting, update the docs.
- Tag the commit with a tag like `v1.2.3`, matching the version in `setup.py`. This will kick off a new github actions build which deploys the wheels to PyPI after compilation.

### Dependencies
This python library is mainly a wrapper around the implementation in the [geometry-central](http://geometry-central.net) library; see there for further dependencies. Additionally, this library uses [pybind11](https://github.com/pybind/pybind11) to generate bindings, and [jc_voronoi](https://github.com/JCash/voronoi) for 2D Delaunay triangulation on point clouds. All are permissively licensed.

### For developers
This repo is configured with CI on github actions to build wheels across platform.
### Deploy a new version
- Commit the desired version to the `master` branch, be sure the version string in `setup.py` corresponds to the new version number. Include the string `[ci build]` in the commit message to ensure a build happens.
- Watch th github actions builds to ensure the test & build stages succeed and all wheels are compiled.
- While you're waiting, update the docs.
- Tag the commit with a tag like `v1.2.3`, matching the version in `setup.py`. This will kick off a new github actions build which deploys the wheels to PyPI after compilation.
