Hi!
These images could be described as crops of geography maps. They really have no “gravity”, up/down or left/right in that sense. I would have assumed then that the flipping would have been optimal augmentation for my images. We moved on as the results from the unaugmented dataset were satisfactory. I tried running 50 epochs but the results were still worse.
I had a discussion with professor and it seems that “credibility score” is somewhat artificial limit for classification task and if it would be necessary to improve the results, I should implement optimizing algorithm for the testset to find the score to best perform in the testset.
Thank you for your time, I truly appreciate your efforts on the forum.
