Map creation for simulation

Create synthetic maps for advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) validation and generate 3D worlds for sensor simulation.

Customer challenge

Testing ADAS and AD systems in the real world can be slow, costly, and at times dangerous. Simulation tools help solve these issues, but they require error-free, high-quality maps to ensure realistic scenarios.

Map edge cases are difficult to find in the real world

Tests might require specific, isolated map conditions

Synthetic maps can have manual errors and missing road features

2D maps are insufficient for perception testing

Applied Intuition’s solution

Applied Intuition’s map creation solution allows teams to create error-free, fully synthetic maps and 3D worlds to test their ADAS or AD stack comprehensively.

Create and generate fully synthetic maps to test edge cases

Easily create road networks and add objects from an asset library using GUI tools or natural language

Validate the map to ensure it is error-free

Generate 3D worlds for perception testing

Utilize synthetic maps for ADAS and AD validation

01

Create a road network

Create a fully synthetic road network using GUI tools or generative AI, or import and augment an existing map. Visualize real-world data and recreate specific areas using custom imagery and lidar point clouds.

02

Make procedural edits

Use GUI tools or natural language prompts to scalably place various objects, such as trees, signs, and obstacles, throughout the map.

03

Validate your map

Run algorithmic checks to ensure your map is high-quality, error-free, and usable in simulation. Save time with pre-built checks or write your own custom checks.

04

Generate 3D worlds

Create 3D worlds to train your perception system in sensor simulation.
