Applying Domain Randomization to Synthetic Data for Object Category Detection
Recent advances in deep learning-based object detection techniques have revolutionized their applicability in several fields. However, since these methods rely on unwieldy and large amounts of data, a common practice is to download models pre-trained on standard datasets and fine-tune them for specific application domains with a small set of domain relevant images. In this work, we show that using synthetic datasets that are not necessarily photo-realistic can be a better alternative to simply fine-tune pre-trained networks. Specifically, our results show an impressive 25% improvement in the mAP metric over a fine-tuning baseline when only about 200 labelled images are available to train. Finally, an ablation study of our results is presented to delineate the individual contribution of different components in the randomization pipeline.

Domain Randomization for Scene-Specific Car Detection and Pose Estimation
We address the issue of domain gap when making use of synthetic data to train a scene-specific object detector and pose estimator. While previous works have shown that the constraints of learning a scene-specific model c…
