Abstract
A user-generated graphical representation can be sent into a generative network to generate a synthetic image of an area including a road, the user-generated graphical representation including at least three different colors and each color from the at least three different colors representing a feature from a plurality of features. A determination can be made that a discrimination network fails to distinguish between the synthetic image and a sensor detected image. The synthetic image can be sent, in response to determining that the discrimination network fails to distinguish between the synthetic image and the sensor-detected image, into an object detector to generate a non-user-generated graphical representation. An objective function can be determined based on a comparison between the user-generated graphical representation and the non-user-generated graphical representation. A perception model can be trained using the synthetic image in response to determining that the objective function is within a predetermined acceptable range.
