👉 Sergio Sanz, PhD 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!

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