A method for generating synthetic measurement data indistinguishable from actual measurement data captured by a first physical measurement modality. The first physical measurement modality is based on emitting an interrogating wave towards an object and recording a reflected wave coming from the object in a manner that allows for a determination of the time-of-flight between the emission of the interrogating beam and the arrival of the reflected wave. The method includes: obtaining a first compressed representation of the synthetic measurement data in a first latent space, wherein this first latent space is associated with a first decoder that is trained to map each element of the first latent space to a record of synthetic measurement data that is indistinguishable from records of actual measurement data of the first physical measurement modality, and applying the first decoder to the first compressed representation, so as to obtain the sought synthetic measurement data.
