The model's predictions on real images after being trained on the synthetic indoor scene from the third video above. Source: NVIDIA Randomization helps overcome overfitting As shown above, the model failed to detect doors adequately on most of the real images because it overfit to the texture of the door in simulation. The model’s poor performance on synthetic validation dataset with different textured doors confirmed this, the researchers said. Another observation was that the lighting was held steady and constant…
