Synthetic Computer Vision Datasets & Sensor Simulation

Eliminate the machine learning data bottleneck: unlimited, perfectly annotated training data for rare, difficult, and hazardous targets.

We generate photorealistic and physically simulated image and sensor datasets in 3D simulation environments to train computer vision models without heavy onboarding.

Custom Synthetic Training Data for Defense, Security & Industrial CV

Machine learning projects frequently stall due to a lack of training data. Rare manufacturing defects occur too infrequently on physical production lines, defense and security targets lack public datasets, and manually annotating thousands of images is slow and prone to human error.

Operating from the Aalto University ecosystem in Otaniemi, Finland, our team solves the data bottleneck through physics-based simulation. We build custom synthetic datasets for defense, security, and Dual-Use organizations, as well as industrial computer vision (Industrial CV / AOI) and robotics developers across Europe.

Physics-Based Ray Tracing & Python Automation

Using physics-based ray tracing in Blender combined with custom Python scripting, we accurately model virtually any real-world camera, lens distortion, or non-visual sensor.

You Choose the Exact Dataset Size

The primary engineering effort is building the 3D environment, target geometry, and procedural variation logic. Once the environment is built, rendering additional frames does not increase manual workload. You can request a small validation batch or tens of thousands of images.

Zero Manual Labeling Errors

Every generated frame comes with 100% pixel-accurate, automated annotations ready for your training pipeline.

What Is Included & How Pricing Works

Feature
Detailed Specification
Simulated Sensor Types
Standard RGB camera data, penetrative X-ray simulations (NDT / security), synthetic Sonar datasets, thermal camera imagery, depth maps, and custom physical sensor models.
Domain Randomization
Procedural variation via Python scripts: lighting conditions, camera angles, surface materials, scratches and manufacturing defects, optical distortions, sensor noise, and backgrounds.
Machine-Readable Annotations
Automated COCO JSON and YOLO formats, pixel-level semantic and instance segmentation masks, depth maps, and 3D bounding boxes.
Accepted Input Formats
Native CAD files (SolidWorks .sldprt/.sldasm, Creo, STEP .stp, IGES .igs, STL, OBJ) or technical drawings and defect specifications.
Pricing Structure (Project-Based)
Pricing is determined by the complexity of building the 3D environment, target variations, and sensor simulation logic. The total number of generated images is completely up to you.
Dual Monetization Pipeline
If we have already prepared your 3D assembly for product visualization or animation, the exact same 3D asset can be piped directly into synthetic dataset generation.

How the Synthetic Data Generation Process Works

A straightforward 4-step workflow designed for ML engineers and R&D teams.

01

Discovery Call

We review your target objects (CAD files or specs), required sensor modality, defect/corner-case parameters, and annotation formats. We always sign a strict NDA before any data transfer.

02

Environment & Pipeline Setup

We prepare the 3D assets, configure the physics-based ray tracing sensor model, and write the Python scripts for procedural Domain Randomization.

03

Sample Batch & Feedback

We deliver a sample dataset with annotations so you can validate the data directly in your training pipeline. We iterate on the parameters as many times as needed until the data meets your exact requirements. If we cannot find a shared direction early on, we won't proceed with billing the project.

04

Final Delivery

We generate and deliver the complete dataset at your chosen volume along with all machine-readable annotations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where can I buy custom synthetic training data with domain randomization for industrial computer vision in Finland and Europe?

Valo Visual, based in Otaniemi, Espoo (Finland), provides custom synthetic dataset generation with full Domain Randomization directly from CAD models or technical specifications. Every dataset is delivered with automated COCO JSON or YOLO annotations, pixel-accurate segmentation masks, and depth maps ready for industrial quality inspection (AOI) and robotics.

Are there companies generating synthetic X-ray or sonar datasets for defense AI in Europe?

Yes. Valo Visual specializes in physics-based non-RGB sensor simulations for defense, security, and Dual-Use applications in Europe. Our portfolio includes procedural X-ray ammunition datasets for Automated Threat Recognition (ATR) and synthetic sonar datasets with acoustic shadowing for underwater mine detection.

What types of cameras and sensors can you simulate?

Virtually any real-world sensor can be simulated. Using physics-based ray tracing in Blender and custom Python scripting, we model standard RGB cameras, penetrative X-ray imaging, acoustic sonar reflections, thermal/infrared cameras, and depth sensors.

How does dataset size affect the price?

You can choose the number of generated images freely. Because rendering and annotation are automated via scripts, generating thousands of extra images requires minimal additional manual labor. Pricing is based on the engineering work required to build the 3D environment, target variations, and sensor model.
