Provide inputs and preview

Providing inputs is a critical phase in the synthesis process to ensure the accuracy of the Dataset being created. In this phase, you can provide inputs about the concept to be synthesized and run a preview session.

Refer to the following video for step-by-step instructions on providing inputs with images and previewing the session.

Prerequisites

You will need at least 6 images each for the concept, for the canvas location for the concept, and for the background on which the concept has to be synthesized. We recommend that you have 50 background images for better results.

Provide input and generate preview

1. In the Datagen Projects screen, click View on the project card.
   

2. Under Edit Draft, enter a description for the concept. For example, “Cracks on Surface”.
   
   

3. Add concept images and mark the concept for synthesis.

   1. Click the + (plus) sign against the Concept Images section, and click Image Repository.
      You can also select Query Catalog to search for images with matching conditions.

   2. Select the images that you want to provide as input and click OK.
      You can use the existing images or click Upload to add new images.
      
      

   3. Draw bounding boxes around the interest area on the images to mark the concept, and click OK.
      
      

4. Add canvas images and mark the locations where the concept must be generated.

   1. Click the + (plus) sign against the Generate Canvas section, and click Image Repository.
      You can also select Query Catalog to search for images with matching conditions.

   2. Select the required images to generate the canvas, and click OK.

   3. Locate the area where the concept must be synthesized, draw segment polygons to mark the locations and click OK.
      
      

      Double-click the polygons to close them, as needed.

5. Add background images from the repository to create synthesized image samples.

   Background images

   It is recommended to add at least 50 images representing a variety of backgrounds for the synthesis to take place

   1. Click the + (plus) sign against the background images section, and click Image Repository.
      You can also select Query Catalog to search for images with matching conditions.

   2. Select the required images for the background, and click OK.

      

6. Click Save to record all the images uploaded for synthesis.

7. Click Run Preview to create a preview session to view the results.
   

Preview generation

It will take up to 72 hours to generate a preview. Once the preview is generated, you can review the preview session results for clarity and accuracy

Query Catalog for Concept, Canvas, and Background Images

While adding images for the Concept, Canvas or Background, you can also search for images by specifying conditions in the Query Catalog.

1. In the project screen, click the + (plus) sign against the respective image section, and select Query catalog.
   

2. In the Query Catalog screen, select Dataset and then choose Table/View.

3. Click Add Conditions, if needed, and select the required Column, Operation, and Values.

4. Click Submit Query.
   

5. Review the results and click ‘Add’ to add these images to the respective section.
