  • Publication number: 20240087295
    Abstract: A training data generation apparatus uses spatial data of an actual object and thereby trains a generative model to perform conversion from the spatial data to a feature vector and conversion from the feature vector to spatial data. Moreover, the training data generation apparatus generates a sample of the feature vector as a realization value of a probability distribution defined by a set of parameters. Moreover, the training data generation apparatus generates training data used in training for an object recognition model based on the spatial data output from the generative model when the generated sample of the feature vector is input into the generative model.
