Why does RandomErasing transform aspect ratio use log scale

[jxu]

See from 06a5858 the aspect ratio is chosen randomly from a log scale

I didn't see this in the original paper? And in the reference implementation.

Mathematically it does make more sense for a log scale. Maybe this implementation difference should be noted

@jxu Hi! Checkout the discussion that happens on PR #3344 where this was introduced. We ended up updating it after doing experiments and discussing it with one of the original authors.

I'm going to close the issue to keep things clean but please feel free to reopen if you have more questions.

Yes I see now, thanks for the response.
