…simulation to enrich recorded data sets,” Worm explains. Automotive perception sensors like cameras, radar, and Lidar generate massive amounts of raw data, and Simcenter SCAPTOR makes it possible to record these massive data streams, store them, and upload them to a cloud or local cluster storage solution. The platform also enables replay of recorded sensor data in a time synchronized way to enable Hardware in the Loop and Software in the Loop testing. “This makes it possible to run tests in a laboratory environment,” Worms says. “It delivers a solution that is repeatable, efficient, and less costly than testing on…
