Kestrix Interview Code

Implements a solution for the coding challenge provided by Kestrix (https://www.kestrix.io/)

Code:

The main code is located in the following two files:

• main.py - Main entry file, finds the planes and saves them to file
• utils.py - Contains various functions used in main

Other files

• property.ply - Mesh file provided by Kestrix
• requirements.txt - Contains pip packages used
• lint.sh - Runs linting tools on the Python code

How to run:

• Install Python (3.11.9)
• Install PDAL e.g. brew install pdal (see https://pdal.io/en/2.7-maintenance/download.html)
• (Optionally) Make a virtual environment (e.g. python3 -m venv venv)
• Install the pip packages: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• Run the script: python3 main.py
  • Planes are saved into directories roofs and walls

Rough Code (miscellaneous):

There is also some rough code in the following files: (not used in main.py)

• visualize_planes.py - Used to visualize the output planes
• pdal_play.py - Used to play around with PDAL
