Any specific reason to sample the point cloud with replacement?

 choice = np.random.choice(points.size(0), self.num_sample, replace=True)

Dear @sagniklp
Thanks for reaching out

Yes, some ground truth point clouds are very small. The overall number of points in those can be less than self.num_sample which gives an error if you sample without replacement.
