OpenTwinMap: An Open-Source Digital Twin Generator for Urban Autonomous Driving
- 基于Python构建,支持从激光雷达和开放街图数据生成3D环境资产
- 可生成道路、地形、建筑等语义分割资产并导入Unreal Engine
- 强调可扩展性与并行化,适合研究者快速适配不同城市场景
城市环境的数字孪生在推动自动驾驶(AV)研究中至关重要,可用于仿真、验证及与新兴生成式世界模型集成。尽管现有工具已显价值,但多数公开解决方案与特定模拟器紧密耦合,难以扩展或引入显著技术负担。例如,最广泛使用的开源自动驾驶模拟器CARLA采用完全基于Unreal Engine C++插件的数字孪生框架,限制了灵活性和快速原型开发。本文提出OpenTwinMap,一个基于Python的开源框架,用于生成高保真3D城市数字孪生。该框架将接收激光雷达扫描和开放街图(OSM)数据,生成语义分割后的静态环境资产,包括道路网络、地形和城市结构,并可导出至Unreal Engine用于自动驾驶仿真。OpenTwinMap强调可扩展性和并行化,降低研究者在多样化城市环境中适应和扩展流水线的门槛。目前版本已支持OSM与激光雷达数据预处理、基础道路网格与地形生成,以及初步的CARLA集成支持。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Digital twins of urban environments play a critical role in advancing autonomous vehicle (AV) research by enabling simulation, validation, and integration with emerging generative world models. While existing tools have demonstrated value, many publicly available solutions are tightly coupled to specific simulators, difficult to extend, or introduce significant technical overhead. For example, CARLA-the most widely used open-source AV simulator-provides a digital twin framework implemented entirely as an Unreal Engine C++ plugin, limiting flexibility and rapid prototyping. In this work, we propose OpenTwinMap, an open-source, Python-based framework for generating high-fidelity 3D urban digital twins. The completed framework will ingest LiDAR scans and OpenStreetMap (OSM) data to produce semantically segmented static environment assets, including road networks, terrain, and urban structures, which can be exported into Unreal Engine for AV simulation. OpenTwinMap emphasizes extensibility and parallelization, lowering the barrier for researchers to adapt and scale the pipeline to diverse urban contexts. We describe the current capabilities of the OpenTwinMap, which includes preprocessing of OSM and LiDAR data, basic road mesh and terrain generation, and preliminary support for CARLA integration.
