SatUnreal is a synthetic dataset created with Unreal Engine that offers 10,000 high‑resolution (0.3 m GSD) satellite stereo pairs. It addresses key limitations of existing benchmarks by ensuring physical geometry simulation, spatio‑temporal consistency, topographic diversity, and mathematically precise occlusion masks via a two‑step line‑trace algorithm. Models trained solely on SatUnreal outperform those trained on real datasets when transferred to real‑world benchmarks such as US3D and WHU‑Stereo.

PoseDreamer is a new pipeline that uses diffusion models to generate large‑scale synthetic datasets for 3D human mesh estimation, providing 3D mesh annotations that remain aligned with the generated images. The system incorporates controllable image generation, Direct Preference Optimization for control alignment, curriculum‑based hard sample mining, and multi‑stage quality filtering to produce over 500,000 high‑quality samples with a 76% improvement in image‑quality metrics over traditional rendering‑based datasets. Models trained on PoseDreamer match or surpass those trained on real‑world or conventional synthetic data, and combining PoseDreamer with synthetic datasets yields better performance than mixing real and synthetic data alone.
The paper introduces an extension to the OceanSim underwater perception simulator, adding a Synthetic Data Generation pipeline that produces large, automatically labeled, photorealistic datasets with configurable scene and sensor settings. The authors evaluate this pipeline on a real-world sea urchin detection task, examining how different synthetic scene variations influence sim-to-real performance. They discuss the pipeline’s findings, limitations, and future directions for improving rendering fidelity, scene diversity, and sim-to-real generalization.
