alt Hacker NewsWhy is this not a typical data augmentation method for training deep networks? It would allow the networks to learn invariants that's align with humans. Currently, I suppose none of these dithered images would be correctly classified.

I’m sorry, but I can’t understand what you’re saying at all. Explain?
Perhaps because inference on dithered images is pretty rare, not a common or popular thing to do? Otherwise, people would train on dithered images. NNs are trained on noisy images. Training with dither would not learn any other invariants besides how to see through dither, it doesn’t automatically generalize to anything else.
