IM-IAD: Industrial Image Anomaly Detection Benchmark in Manufacturing

Image anomaly detection (IAD) is an emerging and vital computer vision task in industrial manufacturing (IM). Recently, many advanced algorithms have been reported, but their performance deviates considerably with various IM settings. We realize that the lack of a uniform IM benchmark is hindering the development and usage of IAD methods in real-world applications. In addition, it is difficult for researchers to analyze IAD algorithms without a uniform benchmark. To solve this problem, we propose a uniform IM benchmark, for the first time, to assess how well these algorithms perform, which includes various levels of supervision (unsupervised versus fully supervised), learning paradigms (few-shot, continual and noisy label), and efficiency (memory usage and inference speed). Then, we construct a comprehensive image anomaly detection benchmark (IM-IAD), which includes 19 algorithms on seven major datasets with a uniform setting. Extensive experiments (17,017 total) on IM-IAD provide in-depth insights into IAD algorithm redesign or selection. Moreover, the proposed IM-IAD benchmark challenges existing algorithms and suggests future research directions. To foster reproducibility and accessibility, the source code of IM-IAD is uploaded on the website, https://github.com/M-3LAB/IM-IAD.

Real3D-AD: A Dataset of Point Cloud Anomaly Detection

High-precision point cloud anomaly detection is the gold standard for identifying the defects of advancing machining and precision manufacturing. Despite some methodological advances in this area, the scarcity of datasets and the lack of a systematic benchmark hinder its development. We introduce Real3D-AD, a challenging high-precision point cloud anomaly detection dataset, addressing the limitations in the field. With 1,254 high-resolution 3D items from forty thousand to millions of points for each item, Real3D-AD is the largest dataset for high-precision 3D industrial anomaly detection to date. Real3D-AD surpasses existing 3D anomaly detection datasets available regarding point cloud resolution (0.0010mm-0.0015mm), 360 degree coverage and perfect prototype. Additionally, we present a comprehensive benchmark for Real3D-AD, revealing the absence of baseline methods for high-precision point cloud anomaly detection. To address this, we propose Reg3D-AD, a registration-based 3D anomaly detection method incorporating a novel feature memory bank that preserves local and global representations. Extensive experiments on the Real3D-AD dataset highlight the effectiveness of Reg3D-AD. For reproducibility and accessibility, we provide the Real3D-AD dataset, benchmark source code, and Reg3D-AD on our website:https://github.com/M-3LAB/Real3D-AD.

Pushing the Limits of Fewshot Anomaly Detection in Industry Vision: Graphcore

In the area of fewshot anomaly detection (FSAD), efficient visual feature plays an essential role in memory bank M-based methods. However, these methods do not account for the relationship between the visual feature and its rotated visual feature, drastically limiting the anomaly detection performance. To push the limits, we reveal that rotation-invariant feature property has a significant impact in industrial-based FSAD. Specifically, we utilize graph representation in FSAD and provide a novel visual isometric invariant feature (VIIF) as anomaly measurement feature. As a result, VIIF can robustly improve the anomaly discriminating ability and can further reduce the size of redundant features stored in M by a large amount. Besides, we provide a novel model GraphCore via VIIFs that can fast implement unsupervised FSAD training and can improve the performance of anomaly detection. A comprehensive evaluation is provided for comparing GraphCore and other SOTA anomaly detection models under our proposed fewshot anomaly detection setting, which shows GraphCore can increase average AUC by 5.8%, 4.1%, 3.4%, and 1.6% on MVTec AD and by 25.5%, 22.0%, 16.9%, and 14.1% on MPDD for 1, 2, 4, and 8-shot cases, respectively.

Cross-Modality Neuroimage Synthesis: A Survey

Multi-modality imaging improves disease diagnosis and reveals distinct deviations in tissues with anatomical properties. The existence of completely aligned and paired multi-modality neuroimaging data has proved its effectiveness in brain research. However, collecting fully aligned and paired data is expensive or even impractical, since it faces many difficulties, including high cost, long acquisition time, image corruption, and privacy issues. An alternative solution is to explore unsupervised or weakly supervised learning methods to synthesize the absent neuroimaging data. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of cross-modality synthesis for neuroimages, from the perspectives of weakly supervised and unsupervised settings, loss functions, evaluation metrics, imaging modalities, datasets, and downstream applications based on synthesis. We begin by highlighting several opening challenges for cross-modality neuroimage synthesis. Then, we discuss representative architectures of cross-modality synthesis methods under different supervisions. This is followed by a stepwise in-depth analysis to evaluate how cross-modality neuroimage synthesis improves the performance of its downstream tasks. Finally, we summarize the existing research findings and point out future research directions. All resources are available at https://github.com/M-3LAB/awesome-multimodal-brain-image-systhesis

EasyNet: An Easy Network for 3D Industrial Anomaly Detection

3D anomaly detection is an emerging and vital computer vision task in industrial manufacturing (IM). Recently many advanced algorithms have been published, but most of them cannot meet the needs of IM. There are several disadvantages: i) difficult to deploy on production lines since their algorithms heavily rely on large pre-trained models; ii) hugely increase storage overhead due to overuse of memory banks; iii) the inference speed cannot be achieved in real-time. To overcome these issues, we propose an easy and deployment-friendly network (called EasyNet) without using pre-trained models and memory banks: firstly, we design a multi-scale multi-modality feature encoder-decoder to accurately reconstruct the segmentation maps of anomalous regions and encourage the interaction between RGB images and depth images; secondly, we adopt a multi-modality anomaly segmentation network to achieve a precise anomaly map; thirdly, we propose an attention-based information entropy fusion module for feature fusion during inference, making it suitable for real-time deployment. Extensive experiments show that EasyNet achieves an anomaly detection AUROC of 92.6% without using pre-trained models and memory banks. In addition, EasyNet is faster than existing methods, with a high frame rate of 94.55 FPS on a Tesla V100 GPU.

FedMed-GAN: Federated Domain Translation on Unsupervised Cross-Modality Brain Image Synthesis

Utilizing multi-modal neuroimaging data has been proved to be effective to investigate human cognitive activities and certain pathologies. However, it is not practical to obtain the full set of paired neuroimaging data centrally since the collection faces several constraints, e.g., high examination cost, long acquisition time, and image corruption. In addition, these data are dispersed into different medical institutions and thus cannot be aggregated for centralized training considering the privacy issues. There is a clear need to launch a federated learning and facilitate the integration of the dispersed data from different institutions. In this paper, we propose a new benchmark for federated domain translation on unsupervised brain image synthesis (termed as FedMed-GAN) to bridge the gap between federated learning and medical GAN. FedMed-GAN mitigates the mode collapse without sacrificing the performance of generators, and is widely applied to different proportions of unpaired and paired data with variation adaptation property. We treat the gradient penalties by federally averaging algorithm and then leveraging differential privacy gradient descent to regularize the training dynamics. A comprehensive evaluation is provided for comparing FedMed-GAN and other centralized methods, which shows the new state-of-the-art performance by our FedMed-GAN. Our code has been released on the website: https://github.com/M-3LAB/FedMed-GAN

What makes a good data augmentation for few-shot unsupervised image anomaly detection?

Data augmentation is a promising technique for unsupervised anomaly detection in industrial applications, where the availability of positive samples is often limited due to factors such as commercial competition and sample collection difficulties. In this paper, how to effectively select and apply data augmentation methods for unsupervised anomaly detection is studied. The impact of various data augmentation methods on different anomaly detection algorithms is systematically investigated through experiments. The experimental results show that the performance of different industrial image anomaly detection (termed as IAD) algorithms is not significantly affected by the specific data augmentation method employed and that combining multiple data augmentation methods does not necessarily yield further improvements in the accuracy of anomaly detection, although it can achieve excellent results on specific methods. These findings provide useful guidance on selecting appropriate data augmentation methods for different requirements in IAD.

FedMed-ATL: Misaligned Unpaired Brain Image Synthesis via Affine Transform Loss

The existence of completely aligned and paired multi-modal neuroimaging data has proved its effectiveness in the diagnosis of brain diseases. However, collecting the full set of well-aligned and paired data is impractical, since the practical difficulties may include high cost, long time acquisition, image corruption, and privacy issues. Previously, the misaligned unpaired neuroimaging data (termed as MUD) are generally treated as noisy label. However, such a noisy label-based method fail to accomplish well when misaligned data occurs distortions severely. For example, the angle of rotation is different. In this paper, we propose a novel federated self-supervised learning (FedMed) for brain image synthesis. An affine transform loss (ATL) was formulated to make use of severely distorted images without violating privacy legislation for the hospital. We then introduce a new data augmentation procedure for self-supervised training and fed it into three auxiliary heads, namely auxiliary rotation, auxiliary translation and auxiliary scaling heads. The proposed method demonstrates the advanced performance in both the quality of our synthesized results under a severely misaligned and unpaired data setting, and better stability than other GAN-based algorithms. The proposed method also reduces the demand for deformable registration while encouraging to leverage the misaligned and unpaired data. Experimental results verify the outstanding performance of our learning paradigm compared to other state-of-the-art approaches.

A Survey of Visual Sensory Anomaly Detection

Visual sensory anomaly detection (AD) is an essential problem in computer vision, which is gaining momentum recently thanks to the development of AI for good. Compared with semantic anomaly detection which detects anomaly at the label level (semantic shift), visual sensory AD detects the abnormal part of the sample (covariate shift). However, no thorough review has been provided to summarize this area for the computer vision community. In this survey, we are the first one to provide a comprehensive review of visual sensory AD and category into three levels according to the form of anomalies. Furthermore, we classify each kind of anomaly according to the level of supervision. Finally, we summarize the challenges and provide open directions for this community.

Tiny Adversarial Mulit-Objective Oneshot Neural Architecture Search

Due to limited computational cost and energy consumption, most neural network models deployed in mobile devices are tiny. However, tiny neural networks are commonly very vulnerable to attacks. Current research has proved that larger model size can improve robustness, but little research focuses on how to enhance the robustness of tiny neural networks. Our work focuses on how to improve the robustness of tiny neural networks without seriously deteriorating of clean accuracy under mobile-level resources. To this end, we propose a multi-objective oneshot network architecture search (NAS) algorithm to obtain the best trade-off networks in terms of the adversarial accuracy, the clean accuracy and the model size. Specifically, we design a novel search space based on new tiny blocks and channels to balance model size and adversarial performance. Moreover, since the supernet significantly affects the performance of subnets in our NAS algorithm, we reveal the insights into how the supernet helps to obtain the best subnet under white-box adversarial attacks. Concretely, we explore a new adversarial training paradigm by analyzing the adversarial transferability, the width of the supernet and the difference between training the subnets from scratch and fine-tuning. Finally, we make a statistical analysis for the layer-wise combination of certain blocks and channels on the first non-dominated front, which can serve as a guideline to design tiny neural network architectures for the resilience of adversarial perturbations.
