Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
one or more processors and memory devices configured to:
receive an infrared image captured from an infrared sensor; and
implement an image classification system operable to classify the infrared image, the image classification system comprising a neural network trained on synthetic infrared training data comprised of synthetic infrared images rendered by applying infrared radiation models to corresponding virtual objects in a virtual three-dimensional scene and constructing a synthetic infrared image of the virtual three-dimensional scene in accordance with an infrared sensor response model;
wherein at least one virtual three-dimensional scene is generated in response to a neural network validation process; and
wherein at least one synthetic infrared image of the at least one virtual three-dimensional scene is added to the synthetic infrared training data resulting in a reduction of a validation error from the neural network validation process.
