Ansys announced a collaboration with Cognata and Microsoft to enable robust Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicle (AV) sensor testing on Microsoft Azure. The partnership makes Ansys AVxcelerate Sensors accessible through Cognata's Automated Driving Perception Hub (ADPH), a web-based platform that runs on Microsoft Azure and 4th Generation AMD EPYC™ processors and Radeon™ PRO GPUs. This platform allows users to test and validate ADAS/AV automotive sensors in a virtual environment mimicking real-world conditions.
The ADPH platform provides OEMs and sensor manufacturers with easy access to certified, web-based sensor models, facilitating collaborative testing and validation against diverse industry standards, including those from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). Cognata's platform currently includes sensor models for thermal cameras, LiDAR, and RGB cameras, leveraging Deep Neural Network (DNN) technology for photorealistic images and simulations.
With the addition of Ansys AVxcelerate Sensors, users gain access to physics-based radar models that accurately reproduce electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation, accounting for material properties within high frequencies to enhance signal strength and accuracy. This radar simulation provides raw data for testing and improving algorithms that process radar signal interference. When connected to a virtual model from a radar supplier, AVxcelerate Sensors produces a virtual twin of the sensor, enabling OEMs to evaluate its performance with enhanced predictive accuracy.
