SynthRender and I-AsSET: Open-Source Framework and Dataset for Bidirectional Sim-Real Transfer in Industrial Object Perception

Object perception is fundamental for tasks such as robotic material handling and quality inspection. However, modern supervised deep-learning models require large annotated datasets for robust automation under semi-uncontrolled conditions; a major barrier for widespread deployment with proprietary industrial parts. We address this through an integrated framework combining synthetic data generation and structured empirical evaluation for systematic investigation of bidirectional sim-to-real transfer. Our method integrates 2D-to-3D Reality-to-Simulation techniques for 3D asset creation from physical parts with programmatic Guided Domain Randomization (GDR) via SynthRender, an open-source synthetic image generation framework. Structured ablation studies across multiple benchmarks quantify the impact of individual rendering design choices, yielding practical guidelines for data-efficient synthetic training. To support evaluation under realistic industrial conditions, we introduce Industrial Assets for Sim-to-Real Evaluation and Transfer (I-AsSET), a 32-class dataset with diverse textures, intra-class variation, strong inter-class similarities, and 19,672 annotations, providing both CAD models and reconstructed meshes for bidirectional sim-to-real benchmarking. Across three industrial benchmarks, the proposed framework achieves highly competitive performance, reaching 98.7% mAP@50 on a public robotics dataset, 97.9% mAP@50 on an automotive benchmark, and 95.1% mAP@50 on I-AsSET.

Synthetic Industrial Object Detection: GenAI vs. Feature-Based Methods

Reducing the burden of data generation and annotation remains a major challenge for the cost-effective deployment of machine learning in industrial and robotics settings. While synthetic rendering is a promising solution, bridging the sim-to-real gap often requires expert intervention. In this work, we benchmark a range of domain randomization (DR) and domain adaptation (DA) techniques, including feature-based methods, generative AI (GenAI), and classical rendering approaches, for creating contextualized synthetic data without manual annotation. Our evaluation focuses on the effectiveness and efficiency of low-level and high-level feature alignment, as well as a controlled diffusion-based DA method guided by prompts generated from real-world contexts. We validate our methods on two datasets: a proprietary industrial dataset (automotive and logistics) and a public robotics dataset. Results show that if render-based data with enough variability is available as seed, simpler feature-based methods, such as brightness-based and perceptual hashing filtering, outperform more complex GenAI-based approaches in both accuracy and resource efficiency. Perceptual hashing consistently achieves the highest performance, with mAP50 scores of 98% and 67% on the industrial and robotics datasets, respectively. Additionally, GenAI methods present significant time overhead for data generation at no apparent improvement of sim-to-real mAP values compared to simpler methods. Our findings offer actionable insights for efficiently bridging the sim-to-real gap, enabling high real-world performance from models trained exclusively on synthetic data.
