Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods are directed to generating customized imagery includes receiving input parameters that define operations for one of plural disparate image processing tools in generating the customized imagery and define attributes of the customized imagery to be generated. Program code for generating an API is executed and the API establishes communication with each image processing tool. The API generates parameterized calls which provide instructions for a specified one of the image processing tools to generate the customized imagery. The image processing tool which receives the instructions is identified from the input parameters. The parameterized calls are sent to the parameterized calls to the image processing tool and the customized imagery is generated. The customized imagery is returned to the API and is stored in a database as training data for an artificial intelligence model.
