Into the Omniverse: Three Workflows for Improving Vision AI Agent Accuracy With Synthetic Data and Fine-Tuning

NVIDIA Metropolis agent skills and blueprints, combined with NVIDIA Omniverse and OpenUSD, provide reusable workflows for building, operating, and optimizing vision AI agents. These tools address challenges such as data gaps, fine-tuning expertise, and complex agent assembly by enabling synthetic data generation, model fine-tuning, and deployment across edge and cloud environments. The approach aims to turn unprocessed edge data into operational intelligence for factories, cities, and other sett

“Gartner projects that more than two-thirds of enterprise-managed data will be created and processed outside the data center or cloud by 2028, and that over two-thirds of all enterprises globally will deploy edge AI by 2029, up from 10% in 2” — NVIDIA
