Use chaiNNer to increase dataset quickly
Translated using ChatGPTI spent several days exploring how to expand examples in datasets with few images, and I came up with the idea of using chaiNNer to automate the process. After testing different training configurations, I decided to share it so others can save time doing the same thing.What does this tool do?- Rotates the image by 15° and 345° (i.e., both directions).- Automatically crops the black borders that appear after rotation, using simple math.- Optional: it can also do a horizontal flip and save those images.That's all it does—but it’s useful. I used to do this manually and didn’t know of any other tool that automated it.How to install chaiNNer?Super easy:1. Download the installer from: chaiNNer2. Run the .exe3. Click “Next” on everything… and done!> ⚠️ You don’t need to download additional dependencies—those are only necessary for AI features like upscale, inpaint, etc.Download workflow: Workflowunzip and inside you will find the filechaiNNer stuck on infinite loading?Yeah, it happens to me too. What I do is install both the installer version and the portable one, and open both at the same time. For some reason, that makes the app load. Once it’s open, you can close either one with no issues.Do you know a better way to do this in chaiNNer?Let me know! I’m open to improving and updating this tool.Do you know other data augmentation techniques?I’d love to hear about them too. My goal is to build a more complete data augmentation tool (within chaiNNer’s capabilities, of course).That’s it!Stay hydrated and don’t forget to blink.
