CHAPTER 9

Now, during the last couple of weeks, we have been setting up Anyverse Synthetic Data Platform to generate a synthetic dataset following the specs of KITTI. In the following days, we will be ready to let the platform generate a synthetic training dataset that we will use with our Faster R-CNN.
Synthetic datasets
Anyverse Synthetic Data Platform
First, we needed to characterize the cameras used by KITTI and reproduce the rigging on a virtual EgoVehicle in Anyverse Studio. The color cameras are:
2 × PointGray Flea2 color cameras (FL2-14S3C-C), 1.4 Megapixels, 1/2” Sony ICX267 CCD, global shutter, with Edmund Optics lenses, 4mm, opening angle ∼ 90°, vertical opening angle of the region of interest (ROI) ∼ 35°
We defined both cameras following the placement and distances described by KITTI documentation in Anyverse Studio and this is the result for our virtual EgoVehicle:

Sensor simulation
We gathered all the available information about the Sony ICX267 sensor and characterized the sensor in Anyverse Studio. Then we fine tuned the ISP parameters to get images similar to the KITTI data we have.

Scene variability programming
We continued training the team on the use of Anyverse Studio during a 4-hour workshop. Then, with a little bit of practice, we have been working on the programming of the variability and population logic to get images as close as possible to the real-world KITTI samples. This is still a work in progress.

Next steps are finalizing the programming of the dataset generation and launching it in a way that will allow us to have the same amount of data we have from KITTI in 2 flavors with and without sensor simulation. Stay tuned!
