An algorithm is presented that automatically generates ground-truthed video from a symbolic description for an object and a specification for the movement of a handheld video camera around that object. This provides a method to generate large amounts of training and test data for the development of computer vision algorithms. We describe an implementation of this technique for an imaging application in which a cell phone video camera is moved over a paper document. Experimental results demonstrate the similarity of images captured by the real camera to images generated by the proposed technique.
