Synthetic Data

Accelerating AI workflows.

What is Synthetic Data?

Training any AI model requires carefully labeled and diverse datasets that contain thousands to tens of millions of elements, some of which are beyond the visual spectrum. Collecting and labeling this data in the real world is time-consuming and expensive. This can hinder the development of AI models and slow down the time to solution. 

Generated by computer simulations, synthetic data is comprised of 2D images or text, and can be used in conjunction with real-world data to train AI models. Synthetic data generation (SDG) can save significant time and greatly reduce costs.

The Benefits of Synthetic Data

Cost Savings

Overcome the data gap and reduce the overall cost of acquiring and labeling data required to train AI models.

Privacy

Address privacy issues and reduce bias by generating diverse datasets to represent the real world.

Accuracy

Create highly accurate, generalized AI models by training with data that includes rare but crucial corner cases that are otherwise impossible to collect.

Scalable

Generate data that scales with your use case across manufacturing, automotive, robotics, and more.

Synthetic Data in Action

Use synthetic data generation applications on-premises or on Omniverse Cloud.

Industrial Inspection

Synthetic data can be used for training AI models to catch defects early in the manufacturing process.
