Assignee: TELEDYNE FLIR COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 6:
7. A method comprising:
capturing an infrared image of a scene; and
classifying at least one object in the captured infrared image by feeding the infrared image to a neural network trained on a synthetic infrared training dataset comprising a plurality of synthetically generated infrared images; wherein each of the plurality of synthetically generated infrared images is rendered as a response received by a virtual infrared sensor in a virtual three-dimensional scene comprising a plurality of virtual three-dimensional objects; and
determining a validation error in the classifying at least one object in the infrared image; and
generating a new virtual three-dimensional scene in response to the validation error;
rendering a new synthetic infrared image of the new virtual three-dimensional scene; and
adding the new synthetic infrared image to the training dataset to produce an updated training dataset to reduce the validation error of a neural network training on the updated training dataset.
