A Study on Improving Realism of Synthetic Data for Machine Learning

Tingwei Shen, Ganning Zhao, Suya You

Synthetic-to-real data translation using generative adversarial learning has achieved significant success in improving synthetic data. Yet, limited studies focus on deep evaluation and comparison of adversarial training on general-purpose synthetic data for machine learning. This work aims to train and evaluate a synthetic-to-real generative model that transforms the synthetic renderings into more realistic styles on general-purpose datasets conditioned with unlabeled real-world data. Extensive performance evaluation and comparison have been conducted through qualitative and quantitative metrics and a defined downstream perception task.
