Publication number: 20260148404Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that curate synthetic datasets using a stereo model. For example, embodiments of the present disclosure may include an iterative process that generates a first synthetic dataset using a replicator composer, uses the generated dataset to train a stereo model such as a Foundational Stereo model, and curates a second synthetic dataset using the trained stereo model. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the synthetic datasets that were generated by the replicator composer may include multiple categories of realism such as realistic style synthetic data and chaotic style synthetic data as well as multiple categories of use cases such as navigation, driving, and manipulation. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the replicator composer may generate a scene based on determining a center of mass of objects that are generated for the scene and using the center of mass to orient the camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2025Publication date: May 28, 2026Inventors: Matthew Trepte, Bowen Wen, Jack Zhang, Gordon Grigor, Stanley Thomas Birchfield
