Claim 0:
1. A method for training a machine learning model, the method comprising:
obtaining, at data processing hardware, a set of training samples; and
during each of one or more training iterations, for each training sample in the set of training samples:
cropping, by the data processing hardware, the training sample to generate a first cropped image;
cropping, by the data processing hardware, the training sample to generate a second cropped image that is different than the first cropped image;
duplicating, by the data processing hardware, a first portion of the second cropped image;
overlaying, by the data processing hardware, the duplicated first portion of the second cropped image on a second portion of the second cropped image to form an augmented second cropped image, the first portion different than the second portion; and
training, by the data processing hardware, the machine learning model with the first cropped image and the augmented second cropped image.
