NuRec

Reconstruction service enabling the creation of simulation environments via raw sensor data from autonomous driving fleets.

Overview

The Neural Reconstruction Engine (NuRec) receives raw input data (camera/LiDAR) and outputs reconstructed scenes / assets that can be used in 3D simulation. NuRec consists of three components: data ingestion tools, a reconstruction service, and a rendering service that can be easily integrated into simulation pipelines. Multi-sensor input data is represented in the canonical NCore format that powers the ingestion and reconstruction stages.

Featured Research Projects

Data Ingestion

We develop an easy-to-use SDK for ingesting and manipulating AV data in a scalable way with a focus on neural reconstruction applications.

Neural Reconstruction

Our data-driven reconstruction service enables the creation of simulation-ready scenes at scale.

Simulation

Our rendering service provides a simple API for fast and efficient rendering of reconstructed scenes in simulation pipelines.

Object Asset Reconstruction

Where the components above reconstruct entire scenes, Asset Harvester reconstructs the individual objects within them. From sparse, in-the-wild observations of vehicles, pedestrians, and riders, it produces simulation-ready 3D Gaussian assets that drop directly into NuRec scenes for object-level manipulation.
