• Abstract summary: We get a generated image by reducing an image to a certain size, which is called as the thumbnail, and pasting it in the random position of the original image. The generated image retains most of the original image information but also has the global information in the thumbnail. We find that the idea of thumbnail can be perfectly integrated with Mixed Sample Data Augmentation.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a new data augmentation strategy named Thumbnail, which aims to strengthen the network's capture of global features. We get a generated image by reducing an image to a certain size, which is called as the thumbnail, and pasting it in the random position of the original image. The generated image not only retains most of the original image information but also has the global information in the thumbnail. Furthermore, we find that the idea of thumbnail can be perfectly integrated with Mixed Sample Data Augmentation, so we paste the thumbnail in another image where the ground truth labels are also mixed with a certain weight, which makes great achievements on various computer vision tasks. Extensive experiments show that Thumbnail works better than the state-of-the-art augmentation strategies across classification, fine-grained image classification, and object detection. On ImageNet classification, ResNet50 architecture with our method achieves 79.21% accuracy, which is more than 2.89% improvement on the baseline.

  A large amount of User Generated Content (UGC) is uploaded to the Internet daily and displayed to people world-wide. Previous methods merely consider the aesthetics of the cropped images while ignoring the content integrity, which is crucial for cropping. We propose a Spatial-Semantic Collaborative cropping network (S2CNet) for arbitrary user generated content accompanied by a new cropping benchmark.

  Recently powerful vision classifiers are biased towards textures, while shape information is overlooked by the models. A simple attempt by augmenting training images using the artistic style transfer method, called Stylized ImageNet, can reduce the texture bias. However, Stylized ImageNet approach has two drawbacks in fidelity and diversity. We propose a StyleAugment by augmenting styles from the mini-batch.

Here, the distribution divergence between the weakly and strongly augmented images over the representation bank is adopted to supervise the retrieval of strongly augmented queries. Experiments showed the information from the strongly augmented images can significantly boost the performance.
