Deep learning research and production experience distilled into structured workflows.

You know a bit of everything. You ship nothing.

You’ve trained a PointNet. You’ve read the KPConv paper. You’ve seen a demo of a generative 3D model on Twitter. You can run a tutorial. You can even tweak a config. But when your client asks for a production 3D AI system, you stall. There are too many pieces. They don’t fit together yet.

That’s the OS gap. An operating system isn’t a pile of scripts. It’s a modular, interconnected framework where every component talks to the others. Most 3D deep learning courses teach components in isolation. This one teaches the complete stack: from ANN fundamentals through generative 3D to a full client-server AI app. Because that’s what production requires.

Why an OS, not a course

An Operating System is the infrastructure other systems run on top of. This program is built the same way. Each module installs a layer: fundamentals, image networks, point cloud networks, advanced architectures, production scaffolding, generative and hybrid intelligence, and the client-server deployment path. You don’t just finish with skills. You finish with a reusable framework you can deploy across every 3D AI project you touch for the next decade. The stack, not the snippets.

What you’ll build

Not exercises. A full 3D deep learning stack you deploy from scratch.

Note from Dr. Poux

I’ve been building and teaching 3D deep learning for more than a decade. This OS is the distilled result. It’s the training I wish I had when I was stitching 3D networks together from isolated tutorials. It’s also the training my Fortune 500 clients paid me to deliver, restructured into a self-paced program anyone can follow.

How this OS works

Built for engineers who want the full stack, delivered by someone who’s shipped it.

100% asynchronous

Access every module 24/7 on the LMS. No live sessions required. Work at your own pace.

💻

Code-along projects

Every module ships with complete PyTorch source code. Clone the repo, run it, modify it. No copy-pasting from videos.

📊

Progress tracking

A built-in progress dashboard. Track completion across all modules, mark milestones, and monitor your learning velocity.

🚀

Production-first pedagogy

No toy datasets. Every exercise uses real-world data at real scale. You finish with systems that run outside a notebook.

🔄

Lifetime access

You keep access forever. Every future module, every code update, every new architecture. If anything ever happens to the platform, I’ll ship you the full offline version.

On AI and this OS

Copilot writes plausible PyTorch. ChatGPT can sketch a training loop. But neither of them knows the memory budget of your GPU, the class imbalance of your dataset, or why KPConv crashes on your aerial scene while PointNet++ trains fine. Without that context, they guess. This OS teaches you to be the one directing AI: the architectural judgment, the system-level thinking, the production decisions that turn suggestions into working products. That’s the engineer who gets paid in the AI era.

The Operating System

7 modules, 50 lessons. Each module is a layer. Together, they form the complete 3D AI stack.

Prerequisites

This OS picks up where tutorials leave off. If you feel below on any point, a prerequisite ebook is included.

  • Python (mid-level): classes, file I/O, NumPy, virtual environments
  • Basic linear algebra: vectors, dot products, matrices. I explain the rest as we go
  • Hardware: 16 GB RAM minimum, 32 GB+ recommended. CUDA GPU with 8+ GB VRAM required for KPConv, PointNet++, and GrowSP
  • Software: Python, PyTorch, Open3D, NumPy, Matplotlib. All free and open source

No prior 3D deep learning experience required. I start at the ANN and build all the way up.

Your instructor

Dr. Florent Poux

I’ve spent 12+ years in 3D geospatial: from field surveys with total stations to building AI systems for Fortune 500 companies. I published the O’Reilly book on 3D Data Science with Python. I’ve advised startups valued at over 15M EUR. I’ve held a professorship, taught at university, and led R&D for some of the largest organizations in the space.

I don’t teach syntax. I teach judgment. Every module is built around real decisions I’ve faced in production. Which neural renderer fits an industrial inspection job. How to architect a semantic pipeline that doesn’t choke on 500M points. When to use algorithmic methods and when to switch to deep learning.

Straight answers

Do I need prior deep learning experience?

No. You need mid-level Python and basic linear algebra. I start at the ANN and build every architecture up from there. If you want a gentler on-ramp to neural networks, start with Engineering Neural Networks for Geospatial Analysts.

What hardware do I need?

Minimum 16 GB RAM. For KPConv, PointNet++, and GrowSP modules, 32 GB+ and a CUDA GPU with 8+ GB VRAM are required. Most other modules run on a modern laptop.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime. One payment, permanent access. Every future update included. No subscriptions, no expiration, no hidden fees.

What’s the refund policy?

90 days. Train real models on real data. If you don’t see results, email me and I’ll refund you in full. No forms, no questions.

How is this different from the standalone courses?

The OS is the complete production path. The standalones (Foundations, Advanced Architectures, Engineering Neural Networks) are focused modules extracted from it. The OS adds generative 3D, hybrid systems, LLMs for 3D, and the full client-server AI app that the standalones don’t include.

I already own a standalone course. Can I upgrade?

Yes. Your purchase applies as credit toward the OS. Email me at howto@learngeodata.eu with your receipt and I’ll arrange it.

Can AI replace what this OS teaches?

AI writes plausible PyTorch. It suggests architectures. But it doesn’t know your GPU’s memory budget, your dataset’s class imbalance, or why KPConv is the right call for your aerial scan. Without that context, AI guesses. This OS teaches you to be the one directing AI. The architectural judgment and system-level thinking that turn AI suggestions into shipped products.

Do you offer team or enterprise pricing?

Yes. For teams of 3+ or enterprise licensing, contact me at howto@learngeodata.eu. I offer volume discounts and tailored onboarding.

Why does the price increase?

Every time I add a new module, architecture, or project to the OS, the value goes up, and so does the price. Lock your price now, get every future addition at today’s rate. The longer you wait, the more you pay for the same access.

Not sure if this course fits?

If you have specific questions about how the curriculum applies to your role, your team’s needs, or your technical background, I’m happy to help you figure it out before you commit.
