Unproportional mosaicing
Data shift is a gap between data distribution used for training and data distribution encountered in the real-world. Data augmentations help narrow the gap by generating new data samples, increasing data variability, and data space coverage. We present a new data augmentation: Unproportional mosaicing (Unprop). Our augmentation randomly splits an image into various-sized blocks and swaps its content (pixels) while maintaining block sizes. Our method achieves a lower error rate when combined with other state-of-the-art augmentations.
