Deep learning models require vast amounts of annotated training data. Gathering
and annotating the data from the real world is an expensive and time-consuming
process. Thus, synthetically generated data is being researched more and more. Two
state-of-the-art deep learning object detectors were trained on various combinations
of real-world and synthetic data. A total of 12 detectors were tested on real-world test
images. Results show that synthetic data can contribute to better detector performance
until a certain ratio between real-world and synthetic data is reached.
