Methods and systems for rendering virtual views of three-dimensional (3D) object data models are described. An example method may include receiving information associated with rendering a 3D object data model, and determining virtual views for rendering the 3D object data model. Based on the virtual views and the received information, synthetic training images of the object may be rendered, and information identifying a given virtual view used to render a synthetic training image may be stored with the synthetic training images. A visual object recognition module may determine from a plurality of images and image that substantially matches one or more of the synthetic training images, and the matched image may be associated with information identifying the object and a virtual view used to render a matching synthetic training image. Another method may also leverage information from a synthetic training image to help recognize other objects of the matched image.
