Abstract: A rule set or scene grammar can be used to generate a scene graph that represents the structure and visual parameters of objects in a scene. A renderer can take this scene graph as input and, with a library of content for assets identified in the scene graph, can generate a synthetic image of a scene that has the desired scene structure without the need for manual placement of any of the objects in the scene. Images or environments synthesized in this way can be used to, for example, generate training data for real world navigational applications, as well as to generate virtual worlds for games or virtual reality experiences.

Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are presented for model-based trajectory simulation of agents in a simulated environment. Traffic simulators mimic reality so that autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle design teams can validate driving models in environments that have diversity and complexity. In some embodiments, for a model-controlled agent of a simulation environment, a plurality of navigation probability distributions are generated, each of the plurality of navigation probability distributions defining a candidate trajectory for the agent to follow. A trajectory is selected for the agent based at least on at least one of the plurality of navigation probability distributions, and the agent is moved within the simulation environment based at least on the selected trajectory. In some embodiments, a search algorithm may be applied across multiple time-steps of a simulation, for example, to identify the occurrence of collision-free sequences of navigation probability distributions.
