Deep learning systems rely heavily on large and diverse datasets to achieve strong generalization performance. However, many real-world applications—particularly in developing regions—lack access to extensive image datasets, resulting in reduced model accuracy and increased overfitting. This research proposes a novel hybrid data augmentation strategy titled …
