ESI Pro-SiVIC(TM) 2016:
Virtually Test Sensors in Ultra-Realistic 3D Scenes
Supporting the development of
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
& Autonomous Driving Systems
Paris, France - July 13, 2016 - ESI Group, pioneer and world-leading solution
provider in Virtual Prototyping for manufacturing industries, announces the
latest release of its sensor simulation platform Pro-SiVIC(TM), acquired last
year along with the company CIVITEC. Serving the transportation industries, ESI
Pro-SiVIC(TM) allows industrial manufacturers to virtually test the operational
performance of the various perception systems onboard a vehicle or aircraft.
Influencing factors, such as lighting conditions, weather, and other road users
are accurately represented. Pro-SiVIC(TM) is used to build realistic real-life
3D scenarios and experience them interactively in real-time; eliminating the
need for physical prototypes. In this way, users quickly and precisely study the
performance of embedded systems in typical or critical use cases and ensure
products are safe and reliable in operation.

enables engineers to model how sensors perceive scenes and how smart products
make decisions.
Today, with the integration of a rising number of perception sensors in the
objects that surround us - be they our cars, phones, or homes - objects are
becoming smart and increasingly autonomous. Unfortunately this intelligence
generates a complexity that may compromise the operational performance of
products. With Pro-SiVIC(TM) ESI meets this challenge directly and is
specifically prepared to support the significant R&D efforts required by the
fast growing markets of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous
vehicles.
With the latest release of Pro-SiVIC(TM), version 2016, ESI addresses sensor
specialists and ADAS designers, integration and validation teams. To support
their daily work, Pro-SiVIC(TM) integrates key sensor models based on a wide
range of technologies: cameras, RADAR, LIDAR (laser scanners), ultrasonic
sensors, GPS, odometer, and communication devices. This makes the solution
suitable for applications in various industries that use sensing for the control
and command of systems - including the automotive, aeronautics and marine
sectors. Sensors can be integrated into realistic 3D scenes. Taking the
automotive sector as an example, Pro-SiVIC(TM) provides a quantity of
environment catalogs that provide representation of various types of roads
(urban, highway, country side), various traffic signs and lane markings.
To build on these unique capabilities, Pro-SiVIC(TM) 2016 introduces new RADAR
sensor models - covering not only the functional aspect of the sensors, but
offering the fully detailed modelling that includes antenna characteristics and
their impact on performance, on-board processing and the characteristics of
radar targets (such as Radar Cross-Sections). Such advanced options are possible
thanks to the ability to chain Pro-SiVIC(TM) with ESI's Computational
Electromagnetic solution CEM One.
"The addition of Pro-SiVIC(TM) to ESI's solutions portfolio translates into
unprecedented capabilities. As their Virtual Prototypes integrate sensor
behavior, industrial manufacturers become fully equipped to consider various
design options, that are not only based on multi-domain product performance, but
also on the product's performance when in operation. They can now ensure product
robustness and reliability thanks to the ability to investigate different
failure modes early in product development process," explains Serge Laverdure,
Director of Virtual Systems & Controls at ESI Group.
The leading organisations promoting international development of the French
economy and foreign investment - Business France and BPI France - are well-aware
of the need for disruptive technology that will support the development of
autonomous vehicles. They have chosen Pro-SiVIC(TM) as one of the 8 French
technologies to embark on their program "Ubimobility - Connected Cars France": a
10-month program designed to enable French companies to compete in the North
American autonomous vehicle market.
