Data Augmentation for Object Detection

Augmentation is very useful and widely adopted in many computer vision tasks solved with deep learning. But, what are the best augmentation policies for object detection?

In this video, we take a look at augmentation in object detection and how you can design the best augmentation policy for your own custom dataset.

Enjoy the video!
