LargeKernel3D: Scaling up Kernels in 3D Sparse CNNs (CVPR 2023)

This is the implementation of LargeKernel3D (CVPR 2023). Large kernels are important but expensive in 3D CNNs. We propose spatial-wise partition to conv enable 3D large kernels. High performance on 3D semantic segmentation & object detection. For more details, please refer to:
