The limited availability and high cost of acquiring real-world image data impacts the creation of high-quality datasets, hindering the development of robust machine learning models, particularly in complex visual domains. This paper investigates the feasibility of enhancing image classification performance by incorporating balanced synthetic data into existing datasets. Three distinct machine learning tasks—image classification, instance detection, and image segmentation—were explored across diverse image domains. Synthetic images were generated to complement real-world data, and various testing scenarios were conducted, adjusting the relative weights of real and synthetic samples. The results demonstrate that balanced datasets, comprising an equitable mix of real and synthetic images, consistently yielded the highest performance metrics across all tasks. It was also observed that even a small introduction of synthetic data can improve performance over real data alone. The 50–50 split showed to optimally balance the realism of real data and the variability of synthetic data. Real data ensures that the model learns accurate representations of objects, while synthetic data enriches the training process with additional variations, reducing overfitting to specific real-world examples. The proposed approach highlights the potential of strategically integrating synthetic data to improve model accuracy and robustness, particularly in scenarios where real-world data is limited or challenging to acquire.
