Solution Overview

Problem

Developing accurate computer models and representations of real-world entities is a time-consuming, costly, and laborious process, especially in computer-vision applications where depth parameters and entity discrimination require numerous discrete measurements and human supervision.

Innovation Solution

A cycle-GAN process is used to autonomously refine the parameters of a training function by iteratively generating and detecting digitally stored entities, allowing for unsupervised development and adaptation of sensing systems to improve entity detection and discrimination without user input.

AI summary

Disclosed subject matter relates generally to forming a set of training parameters applicable to detection of two or more entities between and/or among a distribution of entities from a plurality of digitally stored observations. One or more training parameters of the set of training parameters may be modified to define a translation, which is applicable to detection of real-world entities corresponding to the two or more entities in the distribution of the digitally stored observations, wherein the forming of the translation is to be based, at least in part, on a first process to generate the two or more entities in the distribution of digitally stored observations and a second process to discriminate between and/or among the generated two or more entities based, at least in part, on the modified one or more training parameters
