Disclosed herein is a non-transitory computer readable medium that has stored therein a computer program, wherein the computer program comprises code that, when executed by a computer system, instructs the computer system to perform a method for generating synthetic distorted images, the method comprising: obtaining an input set that comprises a plurality of distorted images; determining, using a model, distortion modes of the distorted images in the input set; generating a plurality of different combinations of the distortion modes; generating, for each one of the plurality of combinations of the distortion modes, a synthetic distorted image in dependence on the combination; and including each of the synthetic distorted images in an output set.
