Abstract

Application of neural networks in industrial settings, such as automated factories with bin-picking solutions requires costly production of large labeled datasets. This paper presents an automatic data generation tool with a procedural model of a cardboard box. We briefly demonstrate the capabilities of the system, and its various parameters and empirically prove the usefulness of the generated synthetic data by training a simple neural network. We make sample synthetic data generated by the tool publicly available.
