# Tao Train Pointpillars

> PointPillars for 3D object detection from LiDAR point clouds. Encodes point clouds into a pseudo-image via a pillar-based representation, then applies 2D detection — used in autonomous driving and robotics. Use when training, evaluating, exporting, pruning, retraining, or running inference for a TAO PointPillars model. Trigger phrases include "train PointPillars", "LiDAR 3D detection", "point-cloud object detection", "pillar-based 3D detector".
