Systems and methods for object recognition with limited input are disclosed herein. An example method includes updating a neural network trained to perform object recognition on a first rendition of an object, so that the neural network performs object recognition on a second rendition of the object, using a limited set of input images. The method includes receiving a limited set of model images of the second rendition of the object, accessing a corresponding image mapping, and generating a large number of training images from the limited set, where image mappings include geometric, illumination, and/or obscuration transformations. The neural network is then trained, from this initial small set, to classify the second rendition of the object.
