  • Patent number: 12085935
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to generating assets for a simulation in order to test autonomous vehicle control software. For instance, data identifying a vehicle object, a polygon for the vehicle object, and a polygon for an open-door object associated with the vehicle object may be received. A rectangle may be fit to the polygon for the vehicle object. A polygon for the vehicle object without the open-door object may be determined based on the rectangle. A vehicle asset representing a vehicle may be adjusted based on the polygon for the vehicle object without the open-door object. A position and rotation of the rectangle may be used to position an open-door asset representing an open door for the simulation. The open-door asset is adjusted based on the adjustment to the vehicle asset. The simulation may be run with the positioned and adjusted open door asset in order to test the autonomous vehicle control software.
