Abstract
A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to generate a pair of synthetic stereo images and a corresponding synthetic depth map with an image synthesis engine wherein the synthetic stereo images correspond to real stereo images acquired by a stereo camera and the synthetic depth map is a three-dimensional (3D) map corresponding to a 3D scene viewed by the stereo camera and process each image of the pair of synthetic stereo images pair independently using a generative adversarial network (GAN) to generate a fake image, wherein the fake image corresponds to one of the synthetic stereo images. The instructions can further include instructions to process a stereo pair of fake images to form a fake depth map, compare the fake depth map to the synthetic depth map using a Siamese one-shot neural network, train a deep neural network to determine an object using one or more of the fake images generated by the GAN, and operate a vehicle based on the object.
