Deep learning is a very popular field of research which can input a variety of data types [1, 16, 30]. It is a subfield of machine learning consisting of mostly neural networks. A challenge which is very commonly met in the training of neural networks, especially when working with images is the vast amount of data required. Because of this various data augmentation techniques have been proposed to create more data at low cost while keeping the labelling of the data accurate [65]. When a model is trained on images these augmentations include rotating, flipping and cropping the images [21]. An added advantage of data augmentation is that it makes the model more robust to rotation and transformation of an object in an image [65]. In this mini-dissertation we investigate the use of the Discrete Pulse Transform [54, 2] decomposition algorithm and its Discrete Pulse Vectors (DPV) [17] as data augmentation for image classification in deep learning. The DPVs is used to extract features from the image. A convolutional neural network is trained on the original and augmented images and a comparison made to a convolutional neural network only trained on the unaugmented images. The purpose of the models implemented is to correctly classify an image as either a cat or dog. The training and testing accuracy of the two approaches are similar. The loss of the model using the proposed data augmentation is improved. When making use of probabilities predicted by the model and determining a custom cut off to classify an image into one of the two classes, the model trained on using the proposed augmentation outperforms the model trained without the proposed data augmentation.
