Simulating output of a perception system may comprise receiving scenario data indicating a position associated with a simulated sensor and a position and/or identifier of an object, and instantiating a three-dimensional representation of an environment and the object (i.e., a simulated environment). The system may generate depth data indicating distances and/or positions of surfaces in the simulated environment relative to the simulated sensor position and determine a three-dimensional region of interest based at least in part on the depth data associated with at least a portion of the object. In some examples, the three-dimensional region of interest may be smaller than a size of the object, due to an occlusion by topology of the simulated environment and/or another object in the simulated environment.
