摘要

The development of autonomous driving systems increasingly relies on rich, diverse, and well-annotated datasets, particularly for training deep learning models. However, collecting real-world data, especially from event cameras, remains a costly and labor-intensive task. In this work, we introduce a synthetic data generation tool built upon the CARLA simulator and extended with advanced event simulation capabilities via the V2E (Video to Events) framework. Our system enables the simulation of driving scenarios with fine-grained control over weather, lighting, traffic, and sensor configurations. It supports multi-modal sensor data capture, including RGB, depth, semantic segmentation, and instance segmentation, as well as realistic DVS event streams. By combining CARLA’s diverse environments and rich sensor suite with high-fidelity event simulation, the tool facilitates the creation of scalable, customizable datasets that are well-suited for training and evaluating both frame-based and event-based perception algorithms.
