Abstract
A simulation system may generate radar data for synthetic simulations of autonomous vehicles by determining and applying radar masks for object radar data based on the attributes of simulated objects. A simulation system may determine a simulated object within a region of a simulated environment, and may apply a radar mask to determine the radar data within the region based on attributes of the simulated object. Such attributes may include the material properties, object type, and/or distance of the simulated object from the simulation sensors. Radar masks may be determining using masking percentages based on combinations of object attributes, and masks may be applied individually or by combining multiple masks for multiple occluding objects, in order to more accurately simulate the behavior of real-world radar signals in autonomous vehicle simulations.
