Enable depth perception and spatial understanding of 3D environment; generate camera, radar, and lidar data

Use 3D sensors and sensor arrays to understand, interact with, and represent the 3D environment in applications across industries. A sensor array is a collection of multiple sensors that work together to capture and analyze data from the surrounding environment. You can model sensors and sensor arrays in the 3D environment, including camera, radar, and lidar.

  • Capture and measure depth information, and provide depth perception and spatial understanding of the 3D environment.

  • Generate high-fidelity data and synthetic data from the 3D environment.

  • Facilitate object recognition and tracking.

  • Enhance spatial coverage, improve data accuracy, and enable comprehensive analysis of data with sensor arrays.
