• Abstract: This research sets out to assess the viability of using game engines to generate synthetic training data for machine learning in the context of pallet segmentation. Using synthetic data has been proven in prior research to be a viable means of training neural networks and saves hours of manual labour due to the reduced need for manual image annotation. Machine vision for pallet detection can benefit from synthetic data as the industry increases the development of autonomous warehousing technologies. As per our methodology, we developed a tool capable of automatically generating large amounts of annotated training data from 3D models at pixel-perfect accuracy and a much faster rate than manual approaches. Regarding image segmentation, a Mask R-CNN pipeline was used, which achieved an AP50 of 86% for individual pallets.

  In this paper, we investigate the sim-to-real generalization performance of standard object detectors on the complex industrial application of terminal strip object detection. We manually annotated 300 real images of terminal strips for the evaluation. The results show the cruciality of the objects of interest to have the same scale in either domain.

  Auto Synth automatically generates 3D training data for point cloud registration. We replace the point cloud registration network with a much smaller surrogate network, leading to a $4056.43$ speedup. Our results on TUD-L, LINEMOD and Occluded-LINEMOD evidence that a neural network trained on our searched dataset yields consistently better performance than the same one trained on the widely used ModelNet40 dataset.
