[Patchwork++][arxivlink], an extension of [Patchwork][patchworklink], is **a fast, robust, and self-adaptive ground segmentation algorithm** on 3D point cloud.

</div>

## :open_file_folder: What's in this repo

- C++ source code of Patchwork++ ([patchworkpp][sourcecodelink])
- Python binding of Patchwork++ using pybind11 ([python_wrapper][wraplink])
- Examples codes of [C++][cppexamplelink], [Python][pyexamplelink], and [ROS2][rosexamplelink] :thumbsup:
- Full suppor of a reproducible **SemanticKITTI evaluation harness** for both Patchwork and Patchwork++ ([`python/examples/evaluate_semantickitti.py`][evallink]). In the papers of Patchwork and Patchwork++, we use **different evaluation protocols** — see [`USAGE.md`][usagelink] §1 for why and §4 for per-sequence numbers.

> If you are familiar with ROS1, you can also visit [here][roslink] and try executing ROS1-based Patchwork++!

## :package: Prerequisite packages

> What we need are just minimal dependencies.

**Ubuntu / Debian:**

```commandline
sudo apt-get install g++ build-essential libeigen3-dev python3-pip python3-dev cmake -y
```

**macOS** (Apple Silicon or Intel):

```commandline
brew install cmake
```

Eigen is fetched automatically by CMake, so no extra system package is required on macOS. The build works with the bundled AppleClang toolchain.

</details>

## :gear: How to build & Run

### Python

The released library is on PyPI:

```commandline
pip install pypatchworkpp                # core library
pip install 'pypatchworkpp[demo]'        # + Open3D for the visual demos
```

Then `import pypatchworkpp` in your script — see the [Python examples][pyexamplelink].

<details><summary>Build from source (contributors / unreleased main)</summary>

```commandline
make pyinstall                # equivalent to `pip install ./python/`
make pyinstall_with_demo      # also installs Open3D >= 0.17.0
```

</details>

### C++

**Pure installation**

```commandline
make cppinstall
```

**Installation with demo**

Only Open3D (> 0.17.0) is additionally installed for visualization purposes.

```commandline
make cppinstall_with_demo
```

How to run the C++ demos is explained [here][cppexamplelink].

### ROS2

You should not need any extra dependency, just clone and build:

```commandline
mkdir -p ~/ros2_ws/src
cd ~/ros2_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/url-kaist/patchwork-plusplus.git
cd ~/ros2_ws
colcon build --packages-select patchworkpp
source ./install/setup.bash
```

How to launch ROS2 nodes is explained [here][rosexamplelink].

## :compass: Choosing an algorithm

This repository ships two ground segmentation algorithms with the same input/output API. Pick the one that fits your data:

- **Patchwork++** (default): adaptive elevation/flatness thresholds, RNR (intensity-based reflected noise removal), RVPF (vertical structure suppression), and TGR (probability-based ground revert). Best when the LiDAR has reflection artefacts or you want self-tuning thresholds.
- **Patchwork** (classic, since 1.1.0): fixed elevation/flatness thresholds with explicit `z < -sensor_height - 2.0m` cutoff and few-points reject, plus optional ATAT for unknown sensor heights. Often more aggressive on ground-plane noise in heavily cluttered scenes.

**Python:**

```python
import pypatchworkpp as p

pp_default = p.patchworkpp(p.Parameters())          # Patchwork++
pp_classic = p.patchwork(p.PatchworkParams())       # Patchwork (classic)
```

**ROS2:** Patchwork++ is the default; pass `algorithm:=patchwork` to switch to the classic Patchwork.

```bash
# Default — runs Patchwork++
ros2 launch patchworkpp patchworkpp.launch.py

# Override to the classic Patchwork
ros2 launch patchworkpp patchworkpp.launch.py algorithm:=patchwork
```
