Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In the MONAI Core service, one might need, sometimes to have more images in the training dataset in order to minimize the generalization error and bias. I'm working on an augmentation policy using Pytorch.

Describe the solution you'd like
The solution is to define a set of augmentation techniques and try to find the subset of methods (including nested combinations) that augment the data without violating the semantic aspect.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
Trying to apply this to blood cells from a bone marrow smear.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by surveying the MONAI augmentation-related components and existing PyTorch integration, then define how candidate techniques and nested combinations will be evaluated. Done means a documented or implemented strategy that increases training data without violating the semantic content of the bone-marrow smear images.
