Generating synthetic sensor point-cloud data with rolling shutter simulation

A system for generating synthetic data, comprising at least one processing circuitry adapted for: computing a sequence of partial simulation images, where each of the sequence of partial simulation images is associated with an estimated simulation time and with part of a simulated environment at the respective estimated simulation time thereof; computing at least one simulated point-cloud, each simulating a point-cloud captured in a capture interval by a sensor operated in a scanning pattern from an environment equivalent to a simulated environment, by applying to each partial simulation image of the sequence of partial simulation images a capture mask computed according to the scanning pattern and a relation between the capture interval and an estimated simulation time associated with the partial simulation image; and providing the at least one simulated point-cloud to a training engine to train a perception system comprising the sensor.
