**Rectified Point Flow (RPF)** is a unified model that formulates pairwise point cloud registration and multi-part shape assembly as a single conditional generative problem. Given unposed point clouds, the method learns a continuous point-wise velocity field that transports noisy points toward their target positions, from which part poses are recovered.


## Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/GradientSpaces/Rectified-Point-Flow.git
cd Rectified-Point-Flow
conda create -n py310-rpf python=3.10 -y
conda activate py310-rpf
poetry install  # or `uv sync`, `bash install.sh`
```

## Quick Start
```bash
# Assembly Generation:
python sample.py data_root=./demo/data

# Overlap Prediction:
python predict_overlap.py data_root=./demo/data
```
More details can be found in our [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/GradientSpaces/Rectified-Point-Flow).

## Checkpoints
- `RPF_base_full_*.ckpt`: Complete model checkpoint for assembly generation
- `RPF_base_pretrain_*.ckpt`: Encoder-only checkpoint for overlap prediction
