An ongoing challenge for image processing algorithms is how to go beyond identification, detection, and classification. This idea encompasses the ability to reason about with contextual information. Including what the whole image scene represents and how it informs. The problem of current algorithms may include approaches that only focus on a single focal plane discarding peripheral elements, limitations of datasets where salient objects are captured close up but not from different angles or distances. Our research explores how to leverage not just core features but features that may have been assumed to be spurious in nature. Thus contextual information increase performance of algorithms: accuracy, interpretability and meaning. In this paper we will present research into causal reasoning and stable diffusion cite{rombach2021highresolution} utilizing synthetic data for detection with core and spurious features.
