Revolutionizing autonomous driving development
Digital twin world reconstruction technology

Digital twin technology and simulation technology have become indispensable elements in autonomous driving development.
Traditional development methods require vast amounts of driving data to build highly accurate autonomous driving systems, and when developing new vehicles, dozens of vehicles were actually driven to collect data.
However, simply increasing the amount of data is insufficient to improve the accuracy of autonomous driving. What is needed is an improvement in data quality and the construction of datasets that cover a wide range of scenarios.
On the other hand, in emergency response scenarios such as heavy snowfall or traffic accidents, vehicle verification is difficult and poses safety risks. Digital twin world reconstruction technology and simulation technology are the solutions to this problem.

AI development cycle for autonomous driving

There are four processes involved in AI development for autonomous driving.

1. Data Collection
2. Annotation
3. AI Model Learning
4. AI Model Evaluation

This approach involves repeating these four cycles to continuously improve and enhance quality.
Data collection requires the efficient acquisition of high-quality data across a wide range of scenarios. Furthermore, simulations are increasingly being used to supplement missing data during model evaluation.

aiMotive's World Extractor

aiMotive offers World Extractor, which reconstructs digital data from real-world data. Hybrid rendering, combining World Extractor with the simulator "aiSim," enables the reproduction of dynamic objects and the generation of large numbers of scenarios, which are difficult to achieve with 3D reconstruction alone.

Data collection services at Macnica

At Macnica, we can collect data for World Extractor using our vehicle, "macniCAR".
"macniCAR" is equipped with aiMotive's World Extractor and a data collection environment for automatic annotation, enabling us to provide driving data at locations requested by the customer, as well as 3D environment reconstruction data and annotation results.

Features of Hybrid Rendering

merit
Generate a high-fidelity 3D environment in just a few days.
Adding assets and generating scenarios in simulations
Physical value-based sensor simulation
benefit
Compared to conventional 3D model scene creation, it allows for the creation of realistic environments in a shorter time, shortening development time.
It makes it easy to add dynamic objects, which are difficult to do in 3D environment reconstruction, and streamlines scenario creation and verification.
High-fidelity 3D models and sensor simulations bridge the gap between reality and simulation, streamlining the selection and development of new sensors.
Verification is possible regardless of weather conditions, and cost reductions are also achieved.

We can provide custom 3D environment reconstruction data.
benefit
Since World Extractor data can be obtained without setting up the vehicle from scratch, time and costs can be reduced.
Data collection for 3D environment reconstruction, starting with small steps, is possible at your desired location.

FAQ

Q. Is it possible to acquire data from our existing vehicles and have a 3D environment reconstructed?

A. This depends on the sensor setup, calibration, and time synchronization accuracy of the vehicle in question. Additionally, you will need to provide specifications for the data format for data conversion.

Q. I want to generate many 3D environments. Are there any services that can do that?

A. By providing a license, you will be able to generate a large number of 3D maps. However, you will need to set up the necessary infrastructure.
