Description

3D Data Science with Python: Building Accurate Digital Environments with 3D Point Cloud Workflows.

The physical world around us exists in three dimensions, and for machines to truly understand, analyze, and interact with it, our data must capture that same depth. This practical guide gives data scientists, engineers, and researchers a hands-on introduction to working with 3D data in Python. From 3D reconstruction and spatial analysis to advanced 3D deep learning methods, you’ll discover how to transform complex datasets—such as point clouds, voxels, meshes, CAD models, and 3D images—into valuable insights.

Dr. Florent Poux provides a practical roadmap for using modern algorithms and spatial AI techniques to build intelligent, production-ready systems. Through real-world examples and Python implementations, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand the fundamental concepts and formats used in 3D data science
• Import, process, analyze, and visualize 3D datasets with powerful Python tools
• Apply AI techniques for 3D object recognition, classification, and pattern discovery
• Create new 3D datasets using reconstruction and modeling techniques
• Automate 3D generation workflows with modern AI approaches
• Explore real-world applications in computer vision, robotics, geospatial technology, scientific research, autonomous vehicles, and digital twins
• Build accurate virtual environments for next-generation spatial AI systems

With the rapid growth of robotics, autonomous systems, virtual environments, and intelligent machines, 3D data has become a critical foundation for modern AI. This book equips you with the concepts, tools, and practical skills needed to design solutions that can understand and operate within the three-dimensional world.

Dr. Florent Poux is a leading expert in 3D data science, teaching and researching at major European universities. He is also a professor at the 3D Geodata Academy and serves as an innovation director for companies recognized in the French Tech 120 program.
