OverviewThis is a set of synthetic overhead imagery of wind turbines that was created with CityEngine. There are corresponding labels that provide the class, x and y coordinates, and height and width (YOLOv3 format) of the ground truth bounding boxes for each wind turbine in the images. These labels are named similarly to the images (e.g. image.png will have the label titled image.txt)..UseThis dataset is meant as supplementation to training an object detection model on overhead images of wind turbines. It can be added to the training set of an object detection model to potentially improve performance when using the model on real overhead images of wind turbines.WhyThis dataset was created to examine the utility of adding synthetic imagery to the training set of an object detection model to improve performance on rare objects. Since wind turbines are both very rare in number and sparse, this makes acquiring data very costly. This synthetic imagery is meant to solve this issue by automating the generation of new training data. The use of synthetic imagery can also be applied to the issue of cross-domain testing, where the model lacks training data on a particular region and consequently struggles when used on that region.MethodThe process for creating the dataset involved selecting background images from NAIP imagery available on Earth OnDemand. These images were randomlyselected from these geographies: forest, farmland, grasslands, water, urban/suburban,mountains, and deserts. No consideration was put into whether the background images would seem realistic. This is because we wanted to see if this would help the model become better at detecting wind turbines regardless of their context (which would help when using the model on novel geographies). Then, a script was used to select these at random and uniformly generate 3D models of large wind turbines over the image and then position the virtual camera to save four 608x608 pixel images. This process was repeated with the same random seed, but with no background image and the wind turbines colored as black. Next, these black and white images were converted into ground truth labels by grouping the black pixels in the images.

Artificial Intelligence-based image generation has recently seen remarkable advancements, largely driven by deep learning techniques, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). With the influx and development of generative models, so too have biometric re-identification models and presentation attack detection models seen a surge in discriminative performance. However, despite the impressive photo-realism of generated samples and the additive value to the data augmentation pipeline, the role and usage of machine learning models has received intense scrutiny and criticism, especially in the context of biometrics, often being labeled as untrustworthy. Problems that have garnered attention in modern machine learning include: humans' and machines' shared inability to verify the authenticity of (biometric) data, the inadvertent leaking of private biometric data through the image synthesis process, and racial bias in facial recognition algorithms. Given the arrival of these unwanted side effects, public trust has been shaken in the blind use and ubiquity of machine learning.

However, in tandem with the advancement of generative AI, there are research efforts to re-establish trust in generative and discriminative machine learning models. Explainability methods based on aggregate model salience maps can elucidate the inner workings of a detection model, establishing trust in a post hoc manner. The CYBORG training strategy, originally proposed by Boyd, attempts to actively build trust into discriminative models by incorporating human salience into the training process.

In doing so, CYBORG-trained machine learning models behave more similar to human annotators and generalize well to unseen types of synthetic data. Work in this dissertation also attempts to renew trust in generative models by training generative models on synthetic data in order to avoid identity leakage in models trained on authentic data. In this way, the privacy of individuals whose biometric data was seen during training is not compromised through the image synthesis procedure. Future development of privacy-aware image generation techniques will hopefully achieve the same degree of biometric utility in generative models with added guarantees of trustworthiness.

SynthAer is a dataset consisting of synthetic aerial images with pixel-level semantic annotations from a suburban scene generated using the 3D modelling tool Blender. SynthAer contains three time-of-day variations for each image - one for lighting conditions at dawn, one for midday, and one for dusk.

This data-set is a supplementary material related to the generation of synthetic images of a corridor in the University of Melbourne, Australia from a building information model (BIM). This data-set was generated to check the ability of deep learning algorithms to learn task of indoor localisation from synthetic images, when being tested on real images. =============================================================================The following is the name convention used for the data-sets. The brackets show the number of images in the data-set.REAL DATAReal
---------------------> Real images (949 images)

Gradmag-Real -------> Gradmag of real data (949 images)SYNTHETIC DATASyn-Car
----------------> Cartoonish images (2500 images)

Syn-pho-real ----------> Synthetic photo-realistic images (2500 images)

Syn-pho-real-tex -----> Synthetic photo-realistic textured (2500 images)

Syn-Edge --------------> Edge render images (2500 images)

Gradmag-Syn-Car ---> Gradmag of Cartoonish images (2500 images)=============================================================================Each folder contains the images and their respective groundtruth poses in the following format [ImageName X Y Z w p q r].To generate the synthetic data-set, we define a trajectory in the 3D indoor model. The points in the trajectory serve as the ground truth poses of the synthetic images. The height of the trajectory was kept in the range of 1.5–1.8 m from the floor, which is the usual height of holding a camera in hand. Artificial point light sources were placed to illuminate the corridor (except for Edge render images). The length of the trajectory was approximately 30 m. A virtual camera was moved along the trajectory to render four different sets of synthetic images in Blender*. The intrinsic parameters of the virtual camera were kept identical to the real camera (VGA resolution, focal length of 3.5 mm, no distortion modeled). We have rendered images along the trajectory at 0.05 m interval and ± 10° tilt.The main difference between the cartoonish (Syn-car) and photo-realistic images (Syn-pho-real) is the model of rendering. Photo-realistic rendering is a physics-based model that traces the path of light rays in the scene, which is similar to the real world, whereas the cartoonish rendering roughly traces the path of light rays. The photorealistic textured images (Syn-pho-real-tex) were rendered by adding repeating synthetic textures to the 3D indoor model, such as the textures of brick, carpet and wooden ceiling. The realism of the photo-realistic rendering comes at the cost of rendering times. However, the rendering times of the photo-realistic data-sets were considerably reduced with the help of a GPU. Note that the naming convention used for the data-sets (e.g. Cartoonish) is according to Blender terminology.An additional data-set (Gradmag-Syn-car) was derived from the cartoonish images by taking the edge gradient magnitude of the images and suppressing weak edges below a threshold. The edge rendered images (Syn-edge) were generated by rendering only the edges of the 3D indoor model, without taking into account the lighting conditions. This data-set is similar to the Gradmag-Syn-car data-set, however, does not contain the effect of illumination of the scene, such as reflections and shadows.*Blender is an open-source 3D computer graphics software and finds its applications in video games, animated films, simulation and visual art.
