Abstract
A robotic system capable of being trained with a plurality of images that are synthetically augmented from an initial image data set includes a training system toward that end. An image augmentation system includes in one form a neural network trained to generate synthetic images using a generative adversarial network which includes the ability to synthesize images having various poses with adjustments to image parameters such as light and color among potential others. In another form the image augmentation system includes a set of images projected or transformed from its original pose to a number of different poses using an affine transform, and the ability to progress across an entire dimensional space of anticipated robot movements which produce various potential poses.
