NCore

NCore provides a canonical data specification, APIs, and tools for multi-sensor recordings in robotics and autonomous vehicle applications. The format supports NV-specific AV data (NVIDIA Hyperion 8/8.1 and future variants), robotics platforms (NVIDIA Carter), as well as 3rd-party datasets like the Waymo Open Dataset.

NCore’s latest V4 component-based data format enables modular, independently-managed generic data components with flexible composition and scalability.

The project is developed within the NVIDIA SIL Lab.
