  We present a quantum inspired image augmentation protocol which is applicable
to classical images and, in principle, due to its known quantum formulation
applicable to quantum systems and quantum machine learning in the future. The
augmentation technique relies on the phenomenon Anderson localization. As we
will illustrate by numerical examples the technique changes classical wave
properties by interference effects resulting from scatterings at impurities in
the material. We explain that the augmentation can be understood as
multiplicative noise, which counter-intuitively averages out, by sampling over
disorder realizations. Furthermore, we show how the augmentation can be
implemented in arrays of disordered waveguides with direct implications for an
efficient optical image transfer.
