Abstract
Data representing a scene is received. The scene includes labeled elements such as walls, a floor, a ceiling, and objects placed at various locations in the scene. The original received scene may be modified in different ways to create new scenes that are based on the original scene. These modifications include adding clutter to the scene, moving one or more elements of the scene, swapping one or more elements of the scene with different labeled elements, changing the size, color, or materials associated with one or more of the elements of the scene, and changing the lighting used in the scene. Each new scene may be used to generate labeled training data for a classifier by placing a virtual sensor (e.g., a camera) in the new scene, and generating sensor output data for the virtual sensor based on its placement in the new scene.
