Description

In order to make the process of mini batch generation more deterministic, it would be nice if the get_params method could take as an optional parameter a random number generator.

Research direction

Start by locating the image-transform get_params methods and reviewing how they currently obtain randomness. Determine the scope of the shared API change, then use the existing transform tests to verify that supplying a random number generator makes mini-batch generation deterministic.
