Abstract

A method for training and using a convolutional neural network with images having on-purpose distortion is disclosed. By distorting on-purpose the image to create zone of interest with higher number of pixels, the resulting output from the neural network is improved. The distorted images are created using an imager device either comprising an optical system specifically designed to output distorted images or comprising software or hardware image distortion manipulation algorithm to create the distorted images from normal images. Also described is a method for training the neural network using a distorted image generator from various existing datasets.
