METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING GENERATION OF BACKGROUND REPLACEMENT MASKS FOR IMPROVED LABELED IMAGE DATASET COLLECTION

A system captures, by a recording device, a scene with physical objects, the scene displayed as a three-dimensional (3D) mesh. The system marks 3D annotations for a physical object and identifies a mask. The mask indicates background pixels corresponding to a region behind the physical object. Each background pixel is associated with a value. The system captures a plurality of images of the scene with varying features, wherein a respective image includes: two-dimensional (2D) projections corresponding to the marked 3D annotations for the physical object; and the mask based on the associated value for each background pixel. The system updates the value of each background pixel with a new value. The system trains a machine model using the respective image as generated labeled data, thereby obtaining the generated labeled data in an automated manner based on a minimal amount of marked annotations.
