Sensor Models in Your Simulation Tool

Parameterizing sensor models in the tool you already use

IPG CarMaker and dSPACE AURELION

Using IPG CarMaker or dSPACE AURELION? We parameterize and customize the built-in sensor models of these tools to match your real sensor, based on data sheets and real-world measurements, including the material properties of your 3D assets. This way, your existing simulation setup gets sensor behavior you can trust.

Validated Against Real Measurements

After parameterization, we validate the sensor model against real-world measurements, for example from our sensor performance test bench and weather station. Simulation and measurement are compared with objective metrics, so you know how credible the model is for your use-case.

Qualified 3D Assets

Explicitly created for perception sensor simulation

High quality 3D asset mesh

High Regard for Asset Quality

Our 3D assets are meticulously created with clean, efficient meshes, without panel gaps or scanning artifacts. The polycount and mesh granularity are tuned to the sensor simulation use-case.

Material Assignment

Next to PBR materials for conventional rendering, our 3D assets are linked to wavelength dependent physical material properties for simulating the signal propagation of perception sensors. We are proud to lead the ASAM OpenMATERIAL 3D standard to make the material definitions usable in all simulation tools supporting the standard.

3D asset plausibility checks

Plausibility Checks

Our 3D assets are not just modeled by photos. They undergo a plausibility check using CAD data or sample measurements on real world objects.

Support for Different Tools

We create or adapt 3D assets, such as vehicle models, for a variety of simulation tools and engines, including IPG CarMaker, Vector DYNA4, dSPACE AURELION, CARLA, Unity and Unreal Engine.
