[Video] What are the benefits of simulating near-infrared (NIR) to generate accurate synthetic data

Synthetic data news! Anyverse is now simulating near-infrared sensors.

NIR sensors are key for in-cabin monitoring systems (e.g., to detect driver’s drowsiness at night). Recent studies have highlighted the growing importance of synthetic infrared data in enhancing computer vision applications, particularly in areas like surveillance and target recognition. A comprehensive survey on synthetic infrared image synthesis provides an in-depth analysis of current methodologies and their applications.

As Javier Salado stated in this AutoSens interview, “The in-cabin sensing market was missing a data solution that could faithfully simulate #NIR sensors. We have filled this gap. Anyverse can now simulate NIR physically to generate synthetic data with the exact look and feel of a NIR sensor and camera”.

Anyverse platform has gone further and is now simulating near-infrared sensors physically.

What are its benefits? Our customers now can:

  • Generate data with huge variability (which would be difficult to get in the real world).
  • Generate physically correct data, this means it’s very close to what they would actually get from real cameras.
  • Additionally, simulate time of flight sensors, by combining NIR imaging with the Depth channel (provided with every Anyverse dataset)

About Anyverse

With over 25 years of heritage in physics-based simulation and a 2008 Academy Technical Achievement Award, Anyverse is a leading provider of high-fidelity synthetic data and validation tools for advanced Perception AI.

While Anyverse remains a premier partner for the Automotive market, specializing in In-Cabin Monitoring systems and ADAS, its technology is increasingly adopted across Defence, Robotics, and Industry 4.0. Leveraging a proprietary physics-grounded engine, procedural synthetic data generation, and next-gen Generative AI, Anyverse produces datasets with unmatched realism and sensor-level accuracy (including RGB, NIR, Radar, LiDAR, and Thermal).

Its unified validation framework helps partners ensure compliance with specific regulations like Euro NCAP, as well as broader safety standards for autonomous systems. By bridging the gap between simulation and reality, Anyverse accelerates development, reduces costs, and ensures trustworthy perception for vehicles, robots, and intelligent machines.
