Altering trained images to train neural network
I am currently trying to make a program to differentiate rotten oranges and edible oranges solely based on their external appearance. To do this, I am planning on using a Convolutional Neural Network to train with rotten oranges and normal oranges. After some searching I could only find one database of approx. 150 rotten oranges and 150 normal oranges on a black background (http://www.cofilab.com/downloads/). Obviously, a machine learning model will need at least few thousand oranges to achieve an accuracy above 90 or so percent. However, can I alter these 150 oranges in some way to produce more photos of oranges? By alter, I mean adding different shades of orange on the citrus fruit to make a "different orange." Would this be an effective method of training a neural network?
It is a very good way to increase the number of date you have. What you'll do depends on your data. For example, if you are training on data obtained from a sensor, you may want to add some noise to the training data so that you can increase your dataset. After all, you can expect some noise coming from the sensor later on.
Assuming that you will train it on images, here is a very good github repository that provides means to use those techniques. This python library helps you with augmenting images for your machine learning projects. It converts a set of input images into a new, much larger set of slightly altered images. Link: https://github.com/aleju/imgaug
Features:
Most standard augmentation techniques available.
Techniques can be applied to both images and keypoints/landmarks on images. Define your augmentation sequence once at the start of the experiment, then apply it many times.
Define flexible stochastic ranges for each augmentation, e.g. "rotate each image by a value between -45 and 45 degrees" or "rotate each image by a value sampled from the normal distribution N(0, 5.0)".
Easily convert all stochastic ranges to deterministic values to augment different batches of images in the exactly identical way (e.g. images and their heatmaps).
