Isaac Sim makes the most of the Omniverse platform's powerful simulation technologies. These include advanced GPU-enabled physics simulation with NVIDIA PhysX 5, photo realism with real-time ray and path tracing, MDL material definition support for physically based rendering, and synthetic data generation.
Omniverse Replicator is a framework for developing custom synthetic data generation pipelines and services. Replicator is exposed as a set of extensions within Isaac Sim and Omniverse Code. Replicator is designed to easily integrate with existing pipelines using open-source standards like USD, PhysX, and MDL.
You can use Omniverse Replicator to easily generate diverse datasets by varying many parameters such as types of defects, locations, ambient lighting, SimReady objects and assets and more to speed up training and iteration of the AI model development. Replicator has the ability to annotate these synthetic images with precisely labeled metadata and to produce specific data formats required for various AI frameworks.
Developers can customize these Omniverse Tools to:
- Vary scene generation (scenario modeling)
- Generate annotated and labeled data
- Write data in various formats
These tools enable flexible integration with existing AI workflows.
