Access Infinite Synthetic Datasets through Parallel Domain's Data Lab API

The innovative San Francisco-based startup, Parallel Domain, is introducing its powerful Data Lab API to allow customers to develop dynamic synthetic datasets utilizing generative AI. The API offers machine learning engineers the ability to create and manipulate virtual worlds in order to simulate scenarios of any complexity.

With just a few easy steps, engineers can instantly create a functional Python code through Github to produce data arrays. Data Lab not only enables the generation of objects previously unavailable in Parallel Domain’s asset library but also leverages 3D simulation to let engineers layer the real world with randomness. This advanced capability allows users to train models to handle complex scenarios, such as autonomous cars navigating highway lanes with obstacles or robotaxis identifying unusual objects.

Data Lab aims to provide companies in the fields of autonomy, drones, and robotics with greater control over dataset creation along with improved efficiency. This enhanced flexibility allows for quicker, deeper model training, ultimately reducing iteration time. Users can now obtain new datasets rapidly, decreasing associated costs.

Major autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) manufacturers make up Parallel Domain's customer base. Traditionally, forming datasets based on clients’ specific parameters could take several weeks or even months. However, with the introduction of the Data Lab API, customers now have the power to create datasets in near-real-time.

By expediting autonomous driving systems, Data Lab can offer unprecedented scalability potential. During testing, the AV models achieved better training performance when utilizing synthetic datasets as opposed to real-world datasets. While Parallel Domain doesn't employ open AI APIs like ChatGPT, the company develops its technology based on large-scale open-source foundation models. Custom tech stacks are also created to label objects, deriving benefits from elements like Stable Diffusion.

Parallel Domain unveiled its synthetic data generation engine, Reactor, in May, initially for internal use and beta testing with select clients. Now, with the Data Lab API offering customers access to Reactor, the startup's business model is expected to change to a more user-friendly approach. Integrating Data Lab can facilitate Parallel Domain's transition into a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, enabling subscriptions and usage-based payments.

It is anticipated that the API will help Parallel Domain penetrate various industries that utilize computer vision, such as retail, agriculture, or manufacturing. The company aims to become the preferred platform in diverse domains that need AI-powered sensor-aided solutions for seeing the world.
