Bounding Box Level Augmentation
Augment your images based on only what is in the bounding boxes.
Bounding box level augmentation generating new training data by only altering the content of a source image’s bounding boxes. In doing so, developers have greater control over creating training data that is more suitable to their problem’s conditions.
A 2019 paper from Google researchers introduces the idea of using bounding box only augmentation to create optimal data for their models. In this paper, researchers showed bounding box only modifications generated systemic improvements, especially for models that were small datasets.
