It would be interesting to try and generate this kind of data from 3D models: entire intricate scenes, where the camera can go around and take thousands of images in various lightings, weathers and vantage points. ICBW, but I feel like this modeling may have been tried and didn't translate well to real-life at the time. I can't see why it wouldn't be possible with enough modeling and physics precision, though.
