Claim 0:
1. A system configured to generate a simulated image of a specimen, comprising:
one or more computer subsystems; and
one or more components executed by the one or more computer subsystems, wherein the one or more components comprise a generative adversarial network trained with a training set comprising portions of design data for one or more specimens designated as training inputs and corresponding images of the one or more specimens designated as training outputs; and
wherein the one or more computer subsystems are configured for:
generating a portion of design data for a specimen input to the generative adversarial network by modifying original design data for the specimen with a synthetic defect; and
generating a simulated image for the specimen by inputting the portion of the design data for the specimen into the generative adversarial network, wherein the simulated image comprises an augmented defect image of the synthetic defect.
