Abstract
A system and method for real world autonomous vehicle perception simulation are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving perception data from a plurality of sensors of an autonomous vehicle; configuring the perception simulation operation based on a comparison of the perception data against ground truth data; generating simulated perception data by simulating errors related to the physical constraints of one or more of the plurality of sensors, and by simulating noise in data provided by a sensor processing module corresponding to one or more of the plurality of sensors; and providing the simulated perception data to a motion planning system for the autonomous vehicle.
