i-Octree: A Fast, Lightweight, and Dynamic Octree for Proximity Search(Accepted by ICRA 2024)

i-Octree is a dynamic octree data structure that supports both fast nearest neighbor search and real-time dynamic updates, such as point insertion, deletion, and on-tree down-sampling. The i-Octree is built upon a leaf-based octree and has two key features: a local spatially continuous storing strategy that allows for fast access to points while minimizing memory usage, and local on-tree updates that significantly reduce computation time compared to existing static or dynamic tree structures.

Features

Dynamically insert points to the tree.
Delete points inside given axis-aligned bounding boxes.
Fast k-nearest neighbors search.
Fast radius neighbors search.
Fully templated for maximal flexibility to support arbitrary point representations & containers.

[2024.03.16] - Feature Enhancement

Enhanced the implementation of the i-Octree with new functionalities and updated the Python bindings accordingly.

Python Bindings Test

1. Requirement

To compile, we require Eigen, C++17, and torch.

2. Run

git clone git@github.com:zhujun3753/i-octee.git

cd octree_map
# Update the `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` variable in `CMakeLists.txt` to reflect your own path settings.!!!!
bash build.sh

cd ..
python demo.py

3. Results
