Since existing ground truth datasets are not sufficiently large to train a Convnet, a synthetic Flying Dataset
is generated… and augmented (translation, rotation, scaling transformations; additive Gaussian noise;
changes in brightness, contrast, gamma and color).
Convnets trained on these unrealistic data generalize well to existing datasets such as Sintel and KITTI.
