• How to reproduce the issue ? (This is for errors. Please share the command line and the detailed log here.)
I noticed the accurate is surprisingly low when I test the sample image with upside down or other angle against the final trained model, but my training dataset does not cover those cases.
Question: Is there anyway in Training spec that can enable these image angle Augmentation?

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore. Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks

You can use a tool mentioned in Offline Data Augmentation - NVIDIA Docs to generate more augmented training images offline. Then use them in the new training.
