A system for generating synthetic training data may include one or processors and a memory in communication with the one or more processors and having a receiving module, a duplication module, and an insertion module. The modules have instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to receive original training data being in the form of a three-dimensional point cloud and having one or more original objects formed by at least a portion of the three-dimensional point cloud and annotated with original annotation data, duplicate one of the one or more original objects to generate a synthetic object, and insert the synthetic object within the original training data to generate the synthetic training data.
