Abstract

The present disclosure generally pertains to an object recognition method for time-of-flight camera data, including: recognizing a real object based on a pretrained algorithm, wherein the pretrained algorithm is trained based on time-of-flight training data, wherein the time-of-flight training data are generated based on a combination of real time-of-flight data being indicative of a background, and simulated time-of-flight data generated by applying a mask on synthetic overlay image data representing a simulated object, thereby generating a masked simulated object, the mask being generated based on the synthetic overlay image data.
