How are synthetic images generated?

Several different methods can be used to generate synthetic images, but the most common is probably create them from scratch using algorithms. This involves creating a set of instructions that will tell the computer how to generate the desired image.

Another method is to use existing images and modify them using software tools. This can be used to create an image that is similar to an existing image, or to completely change the appearance of an image.
