Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 6, wherein
the similarity metric between two images is the Euclidean distance between the feature vectors of the two images;
a necessary condition for meeting the minimum augmentation similarity criterion is that the Euclidean distance between the feature vectors of the add-on image and the anchor reference image is smaller than a predefined fraction of the smallest Euclidean distance between the feature vectors of the anchor reference image and any reference image associated with a different category than the anchor reference image; and
the maximum augmentation similarity criterion is met if the Euclidean distance between the feature vectors of the add-on image and the anchor reference image is larger than a predefined fraction of the smallest Euclidean distance between the feature vectors of the anchor reference image and any reference image associated with a same category as the anchor reference image.
