AURELION Lidar Model
Realistic simulation of lidar sensors
The optional ‘AURELION Lidar’ model allows AURELION, the dSPACE solution for sensor-realistic simulation, to realistically simulate a lidar sensor and the corresponding sensor environment.
- Outputs a point cloud with realistic calculation of rerflectivity values based on lidar-specific materials
- Support for scanning and flash-based sensors
- Realistic motion distortion effects with configurable time offsets for each ray
Application Areas
The lidar sensor model lets AURELION perform a physics-based real-time calculation of lidar sensor data to accurately simulate real-world effects. Input your lidar data into your processing chain as raw data or in point cloud format.
- Allowing for the physically correct simulation of point cloud generation while taking into account environment and sensor effects
- Predefined bidirectional reflectance distribution functions using real-world measurements
- Detection of multiple reflections per ray
- Motion distortion effect
- Support for dynamic scanning patterns
- Nonlinear calculation of reflectivity to model sensor saturation
