We have experimentally demonstrated an efficient machine-learning-based object recognition through scattering media using the optical memory effect. Our method augments a small number of speckles, which are captured within the optical memory effect, using a computer. The experimental results show that the classifier, obtained by augmenting a small number of speckles, has achieved high accuracy.
