Efficient Synthetic Data Generation and Utilization for Action Recognition and Universal Avatar Generation

NSH 3305

Abstract: Human-centered computer vision technology relies heavily on large, diverse datasets, but collecting data from human subjects is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and raises privacy concerns. To address these challenges, researchers are increasingly using synthetic data to augment real-world datasets. This thesis explores efficient methods for generating and utilizing synthetic data to train human-based computer vision models. [...]
