NVIDIA NCore

License CI

NVIDIA NCore is an open, self-contained multi-sensor data platform with a focus on robotics and autonomous vehicle data. It defines a canonical component-based data format, GPU-accelerated camera and LiDAR sensor models, dataset converters, and APIs for reconstruction and simulation. NCore is used by NVIDIA Omniverse NuRec and other research and development workflows.
