Procedural world generation using tertiary data is described. In an example, a computing device can receive road network data associated with the real environment and a road mesh associated with a real environment. The computing device can associate the road network data with the road mesh to generate a simulated environment. Additionally, the computing device can associate supplemental data with the road network data and the road mesh to enhance the simulated environment (e.g., supplementing information otherwise unavailable to the sensor data due to an occlusion). The computing device can output the simulated environment for at least one of testing, validating, or training an algorithm used by an autonomous robotic computing device for at least one of navigating, planning, or decision making.

Procedural world generation using tertiary data

Procedural generation of simulated environments is described herein. In an example, a computing device can access road network data associated with a real environment. Further, the computing device can generate, based on the sensor data, a road mesh associated with the real environment. The computing device can associate the road network data with the road mesh to generate a simulated environment and can procedurally render at least one object into the simulated environment based at least in part on at least one rule. The computing device can output the simulated environment for at least one of testing, validating, or training an algorithm used by an autonomous vehicle for at least one of navigating, planning, or decision making.
