1. A method of generating synthetic data for composite manufacturing inspection comprising:
creating a three-dimensional model of a composite layup in a three-dimensional model space;
generating an inconsistency in the three-dimensional model of the composite layup;
setting a camera position and a camera orientation in the three-dimensional model space;
generating a captured image of the three-dimensional model and the inconsistency from the camera position and the camera orientation; and
creating a secondary image from the captured image, the secondary image having colorations of a preselected inspection type, wherein creating the secondary image comprises applying a number of filters to the captured image to create the secondary image, wherein applying the number of filters creates the colorations of the preselected inspection type in pixels of the secondary image.
