Can AI models trained solely on 100% synthetic data achieve top-tier accuracy in real-world object detection?

👉 @sergio-sanz-rodriguez just proved it while winning Duality AI’s Synthetic-to-Real Object Detection Challenge using Falcon-generated imagery. His model achieved perfect real-world detection accuracy without a single real image in the training loop.

In this blog, Dr. Sanz walks us through his method, which includes the design and training of an advanced pipeline to achieve 100% detection accuracy.
His full technical breakdown covers:
📍 Synthetic-only training
📍 Data augmentation with an ensemble learning approach for better generalization
📍 Custom occlusion generation
📍 A Faster R-CNN model fine-tuned with Falcon generated data
📍 And much more!

The results speak for themselves!
📖 Read the blog here: https://www.duality.ai/blog/leveraging-synthetic-data-for-real-world-object-detection

Congratulations Sergio! We can't wait to see what you do next.

🗣️ 📢 New article alert!

"Integrity Threats in AI: When Data Poisoning Undermines Model Effectiveness" from Duality AI is now on HuggingFace here: https://huggingface.co/blog/DualityAI-RebekahBogdanoff/integrity-threats-in-ai

Significant threats to AI model performance aren’t always loud or obvious. Integrity violations—like subtle data poisoning attacks—can quietly erode your model’s reliability, long before anyone notices. These attacks can be surprisingly effective with minimal changes to the dataset.

At Duality, our work in high-stakes sectors like defense has driven us to tackle this threat head-on. In our latest blog from Duality's Director of Infrastructure and Security at Duality, David Strout, we unpack how data poisoning works, why it’s so dangerous, and how organizations can secure their AI pipelines with clear provenance, regular performance auditing, and a trusted synthetic data supply chain.

Whether you're building AI models for finance, healthcare, manufacturing, or national security—the integrity of these systems is a matter of public safety and security. Taking action today will mitigate fundamental business risks in the very near tomorrow.

🙋‍♀️ Happy Monday! Duality AI has released another dataset for pose estimation

duality-robotics/pose_estimation5.1

It's once again 100% ✨FREE✨
Access the full-size dataset by creating an EDU account here- https://falcon.duality.ai/secure/documentation/pose-colab?sidebarMode=learn
Or check it out in the linked HuggingFace dataset

Why train a model in pose estimation?
Many functions require pose estimation, such as...
🤖Defining the orientation of an object on a conveyer belt for pick and place operations with a robotic arm,
🤖 Replicating an object's pose for AR and VR application overlays,
🤖 Localizing and mapping an environment for path navigation,
🤖 ...and more!

What makes this dataset useful for training a model?

💠Duality AI's digital twins are not generated by AI, but are instead crafted by 3D artists. This allows the training from this data to transfer into real-world applicability. Read more about our techniques for bridging the Sim2Real gap here: https://www.duality.ai/blog/ml-synthetic-data-model
💠The simulation software, called FalconEditor, can easily create thousands of images with varying lighting, posing, occlusions, backgrounds, camera positions, and more using a versatile python API
💠FalconEditor is able to create 100% accurate labels at the SAME TIME as it creates the images. This makes collecting data for tasks such pose-estimation easier, faster, and more reliable.

Interested in a specific dataset? Let us know!
We're always looking for new ideas on what datasets to create next 👀
