Technology for detecting anomalies and defects in images
Detects anomaly locations in images using only simple image-level annotations.
- This AI technology localizes anomalies in images using simple annotations with the label “anomaly/no anomaly” for each image.
- Our proposed method leverages residual features between input and reference (normal) images, enabling more accurate anomaly localization than conventional methods.
- The proposed method is applicable to various scenarios, including visual inspection of products, equipment, and infrastructure.
Applications
- All types of anomaly detection using images (various defects, such as cracks or rust)
Benchmarks, strengths, and track record
- Evaluations on three public datasets show that our method achieves higher localization accuracy for anomalies compared to existing weakly supervised approaches.
