Sensor simulation is a critical tool to address the gaps in real-world data for autonomous vehicle (AV) development. However, it is only effective if sensor models accurately reflect the physical world. Sensors can be either passive, such as cameras—or active, sending out either an electromagnetic wave (lidar, radar) or an acoustic wave (ultrasonic) to generate…
