What is random crop?
Random crop: An augmentation that cuts a randomly positioned sub-region from an image and resizes it to the input size. It teaches models that objects can appear at different positions and scales.
Random crop: an example
A 256 x 256 image is randomly cropped to 224 x 224 each epoch, so the model sees slightly different views.
