Description

The paper said in the sparse structure generation process, we need to use a VAE to compress the occupancy grid to reduce memory usage in attention computation, but the code below only shows the decoder, but no encoder. This is confusing, and I may have overlooked details in the code or paper. Can someone help me with this problem?

Research direction

Start with the cited section of trellis/pipelines/trellis_image_to_3d.py at lines 177-191, then compare its sparse structure generation flow with the paper's VAE description. Trace the referenced pipeline components to determine whether occupancy-grid encoding happens elsewhere or is missing. Done means documenting the encoder's location and role, or clearly recording the confirmed discrepancy.
