Abstract To build computer vision systems with good generalization ability, large-scale, diversified, and annotated image data are required for learning and evaluating the in-hand computer vision models. Since it is difficult to obtain satisfying image data from real scenes, a new theoretical framework for image generation is proposed, which is called parallel imaging. The core component of parallel imaging is various software-defined artificial imaging systems. Artificial imaging systems receive small-scale image data collected from real scenes, and then generate large amounts of artificial image data. In this paper, the realization methods of parallel imaging are summarized, including graphics rendering, image style transfer, generative models, etc. Furthermore, the characteristics of artificial images and actual images are analyzed and the domain adaptation strategies are discussed.
