• Abstract summary: Training an unpaired synthetic-to-real translation network in image space is severely under-constrained. We propose a semi-supervised approach that operates on the disentangled shading and albedo layers of the image. Our two-stage pipeline first learns to predict accurate shading in a supervised fashion using physically-based renderings as targets.

• Abstract: We present a method to improve the visual realism of low-quality, synthetic images, e.g. OpenGL renderings. Training an unpaired synthetic-to-real translation network in image space is severely under-constrained and produces visible artifacts. Instead, we propose a semi-supervised approach that operates on the disentangled shading and albedo layers of the image. Our two-stage pipeline first learns to predict accurate shading in a supervised fashion using physically-based renderings as targets, and further increases the realism of the textures and shading with an improved CycleGAN network. Extensive evaluations on the SUNCG indoor scene dataset demonstrate that our approach yields more realistic images compared to other state-of-the-art approaches. Furthermore, networks trained on our generated "real" images predict more accurate depth and normals than domain adaptation approaches, suggesting that improving the visual realism of the images can be more effective than imposing task-specific losses.

  Eye image segmentation is a critical step in eye tracking that has great influence over the final gaze estimate. We use dimensionality-reduction techniques to measure the overlap between the target eye images and synthetic training data. Our methods result in robust, improved performance when tackling the discrepancy between simulation and real-world data samples.

  We show that the recent progress in neural rendering enables a new unified approach we call Photo-realistic Neural Domain Randomization (PNDR) Our approach is modular, composed of different neural networks for materials, lighting, and rendering, thus enabling randomization of different key image generation components in a differentiable pipeline. Our experiments show that training with PNDR enables generalization to novel scenes and significantly outperforms the state of the art in terms of real-world transfer.

Our experiments confirm that a joint treatment of rendering and decomposition is indeed beneficial and that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art image-to-image translation baselines both qualitatively and quantitatively.
