Abstract

An image classification system comprises a neural network trained on a synthetic infrared training dataset, including synthetic infrared images of objects rendered from a virtually represented infrared sensor in a virtual three-dimensional scene, the synthetic infrared images being generated using infrared radiation signatures of virtual objects in the virtual three-dimensional scene and an infrared response model of the virtually represented infrared sensor. A system for generating synthetic infrared training data comprises a three-dimensional scene modeling system operable to generate three-dimensional scenes comprising a plurality of objects, each object having an infrared radiation model, and an infrared sensor modeling system operable to model an imaging response for an infrared sensor virtually represented in the three-dimensional scene.
