“…Apiparakoon et al [ 56 ] augmented a dataset by changing the light, contrast, and brightness to ensure consistency with the physician’s process. Several other augmentation techniques have been employed, including rescaling [ 13 , 33 , 39 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 54 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 98 , 107 ], rotation [ 13 , 33 , 39 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 54 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 77 , 98 , 107 ], zooming [ 13 , 44 , 107 ], shifting intensity [ 58 , 77 ], reflecting horizontally [ 77 ], translating the image [ 39 , 43 , 77 ], cropping [ 59 ], applying elastic deformations [ 45 ], gamma augmentation [ 45 ], and flipping [ 13 , 44 , 54 , 59 , 107 ]. Da Cruz et al [ 60 ] further applied a probabilistic Gaussian blur and linear contrast filters to augment the dataset.…”
