Leveraging Virtual Environments To Train A Deep Learning Algorithm

Keywords

Abstract

Open source datasets are the typical source used to train computers to accurately detect visual objects (e.g., humans, animals, and inanimate objects) through various machine learning methods (e.g., Deep Learning (DL)). This data, however, is not feasible for use in the military domain. In this paper, a comparative analysis of real and virtual training data is provided, using the You Only Look Once (YOLO) Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. The main concern of this paper is to verify the process and accuracy of using a domain-specific U.S. Army Virtual Environment (VE), in contrast to a Real Environment (RE) dataset, with DL. Comparative results suggest that substituting a VE to provide training data for the DL model saves manual labour while maintaining a quality precision-recall curve.
