Synthetic Images for AI Training

The upshot: Mindtech provides a capability for creating fully annotated synthetic training images to complement real images for improved AI training. We've spent a lot of time looking at AI training and AI inference and the architectures and processes used for each of those. Where the AI task involves images, we've blithely referred to the need for training sets; that's easy, right? After all, if you're trying to train your algorithm to recognize a dog, then just give it a bunch of pictures of dogs (OK, tag them with, "This one contains a dog") and then a bunch of pictures without dogs ("This one contains no dog"), and off you go! Right? And the behemoths like Google and Facebook have oodles of images and videos (videos being collections of frames, each of which is an image), thanks to the free stuff willingly served up by unsuspecting users (including images now and 10 years ago to help improve aging algorithms).
