…an ability to analyze synthetic environments,” he said. “Using NVIDIA Isaac Sim on Omniverse, we could seamlessly import different environments from CAD tools like Trimble SketchUp. Generating perfectly labeled ground-truth synthetic data then becomes a straightforward exercise.” Office building viewed in Trimble SketchUp, a 3D modeling application. Source: NVIDIA To ensure that models work robustly, developers working on robotics and automation applications need diverse datasets that include all assets of the target environment. In case of indoors, the list might include assets such as partitions, staircases, doors, windows, and furniture. While these datasets can be constructed manually with real photographers…
