Photorealistic Rendering of Training Data for Object Detection and Pose Estimation with a Physics Engine

3D Object Detection is essential for many tasks such a Robotic Manipulation or Augmented Reality. Nevertheless, recording appropriate real training data is difficult and time consuming. Due to this, many approaches rely on using synthetic data to train a Convolutional Neural Network [1, 2]. However, those approaches often suffer from overfitting to the synthetic world and do not generalize well to unseen real scenes. There are many works that try to address this problem [3, 4]. In this work we try to follow the work of [5], and intend to render photorealistic scenes in order to cope with this domain gap. Therefore, we will use a physics engine to generate physically plausible poses and use ray-tracing to render high-quality scenes.
