System and method for procedurally synthesizing datasets of objects of interest for training machine-learning models

Abstract:

The disclosure provides method of training a machine-learning model employing a procedurally synthesized training dataset, a machine that includes a trained machine-learning model, and a method of operating a machine. In one example, the method of training includes: (1) generating training image definitions in accordance with variations in content of training images to be included in a training dataset, (2) rendering the training images corresponding to the training image definitions, (3) generating, at least partially in parallel with the rendering, ground truth data corresponding to the training images, the training images and the ground truth comprising the training dataset, and (4) training a machine-learning model using the training dataset and the ground truth data.
