Abstract: A method for generating an image data set for a computer-implemented simulation includes reading kinematic data representative of positions of a light source, velocities of the light source, accelerations of the light source, or a combination thereof. The method further includes displacing the light source according to the kinematic data, acquiring light data of the light source, compiling the light data and the associated kinematic data to form a light data set, and training an artificial neural network using the light data set to generate a supplementary data set. The method includes generating the supplementary data set using the trained artificial neural network, and generating the image data set using a raw image data set according to the computer-implemented simulation and the supplementary data set.
