Abstract: A concurrent simulation of multiple sensor modalities includes identifying the multiple sensor modalities in association with a simulation scenario, determining a timeline interleaving a publishing or operating frequency of each of the multiple sensor modalities relative to each other, determining a current time interval of a sliding window in the timeline, determining a simulation segment of the simulation scenario using the current time interval of the sliding window, rendering a scene based on the simulation segment, executing a simulation to concurrently simulate the multiple sensor modalities using ray tracing in the rendered scene, and generating simulated sensor data of the multiple sensor modalities based on executing the simulation.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, computer program product, and system for rendering one or more objects in a set. The illumination agent designates a region of interest in the set to be rendered. The illumination agent defines an amount of photons to be directed towards the region of interest in the set. The illumination agent generates a photon map of the set. The illumination agent generates a portion of the photon map based on the region of interest and the designated amount of photons to be applied to the region of interest. The illumination agent generates a remainder of the photon map based on an area exterior to the region of interest and a second amount of photons to be applied to the area. The processor transmits the photon map for processing.
