Driving view simulation synthesizing virtual geometry and real images in an experimental mixed-reality traffic space

We propose an efficient and effective image generation system for an experimental mixed-reality traffic space. Our enhanced traffic/driving simulation system represents the view through a hybrid that combines virtual geometry with real images to realize high photo-reality with little human cost. Images for datasets are captured from the real world, and the view for the simulation system is created by synthesizing image datasets - with a conventional driving simulator.
