Abstract
Wearable Cognitive Assistance (WCA) applications use computer vision models that require thousands of labeled training images. Capturing and labeling these images requires a substantial amount of work. By using synthetically generated images for training, we avoided this labor-intensive step. The performance of these models was comparable to that of models that were trained on real images.
