Abstract

A method of generating synthetic images of virtual scenes includes: placing, by a synthetic data generator implemented by a processor and memory, three-dimensional (3-D) models of objects in a 3-D virtual scene; adding, by the synthetic data generator, lighting to the 3-D virtual scene, the lighting including one or more illumination sources; applying, by the synthetic data generator, imaging modality-specific materials to the 3-D models of objects in the 3-D virtual scene in accordance with a selected multimodal imaging modality, each of the imaging modality-specific materials including an empirical model; setting a scene background in accordance with the selected multimodal imaging modality; and rendering, by the synthetic data generator, a two-dimensional image of the 3-D virtual scene based on the selected multimodal imaging modality to generate a synthetic image in accordance with the selected multimodal imaging modality.
