A system that generates training images for neural networks includes one or more processors configured to receive input representing one or more selected areas in an image mask. The one or more processors are configured to form a labeled masked image by combining the image mask with an unlabeled image of equipment. The one or more processors also are configured to train an artificial neural network using the labeled masked image to one or more of automatically identify equipment damage appearing in one or more actual images of equipment and/or generate one or more training images for training another artificial neural network to automatically identify the equipment damage appearing in the one or more actual images of equipment.
