This article presents a new algorithm for visual data augmentation based on statistical methods. The method includes an original approach to encoding contours as one-dimensional vectors, storing information about distances from the center of gravity to vertices at specific angles. An algorithm for generating new contours is proposed, based on the statistical characteristics of the original dataset and normal distribution. The key feature of the method is the preservation of important statistical properties of the original dataset, which is confirmed by mathematical proofs of two main statements about the invariance of mathematical expectation and variance. A visual example demonstrating the method's performance on a real contour is presented. The proposed approach has potential applications in various fields, including computer vision, medical imaging, and remote sensing, where generation and augmentation of object contour data play a crucial role. The method can be particularly useful in situations where collecting real data is difficult or resource-intensive. The main results were obtained through an analytical method – the developed mathematical model is supplemented by a random number generator from a distribution with parameters calculated based on the training dataset. The parameters are selected in such a way that the main statistical characteristics of the training dataset are preserved in the synthetic data, allowing for effective application of the proposed algorithm to a wide class of pattern recognition tasks.
