The Art of Deep Learning Image Augmentation: The Seeds of Success

This book addresses the critical challenge of limited training data in deep learning for computer vision by exploring and evaluating various image augmentation techniques, with a particular emphasis on deep learning-based methods. Chapter 1 establishes the core problem of data scarcity, outlining its negative impacts on model performance, and introduces traditional image augmentation techniques like geometric transformations, color space manipulations, and other methods such as noise injection.
