• Authors: Matias Tailanian, Pablo Mus\'e, \'Alvaro Pardo
• Abstract summary: We propose an a contrario framework to detect anomalies in images applying statistical analysis to feature maps obtained via convolutions. The proposed method is multi-scale and fully unsupervised and is able to detect anomalies in a wide variety of scenarios. While the end goal of this work is the detection of subtle defects in leather samples for the automotive industry, we show that the same algorithm achieves state of the art results in public anomalies datasets.

• Abstract: Anomalies can be defined as any non-random structure which deviates from normality. Anomaly detection methods reported in the literature are numerous and diverse, as what is considered anomalous usually varies depending on particular scenarios and applications. In this work we propose an a contrario framework to detect anomalies in images applying statistical analysis to feature maps obtained via convolutions. We evaluate filters learned from the image under analysis via patch PCA, Gabor filters and the feature maps obtained from a pre-trained deep neural network (Resnet). The proposed method is multi-scale and fully unsupervised and is able to detect anomalies in a wide variety of scenarios. While the end goal of this work is the detection of subtle defects in leather samples for the automotive industry, we show that the same algorithm achieves state of the art results in public anomalies datasets.

  We introduce a novel explanation method that generates multiple counterfactual examples for each anomaly. A counterfactual example is a modification of the anomaly that is perceived as normal by the anomaly detector. The method provides a high-level semantic explanation of the mechanism that triggered the anomaly detector, allowing users to explore "what-if scenarios"

  We focus on a specific use case in anomaly detection where the distribution of normal samples is supported by a lower-dimensional manifold. We adapt a self-supervised learning regime that exploits discriminative information during training but focuses on the submanifold of normal examples. We achieve a new state-of-the-art result on the MVTec AD dataset -- a challenging benchmark for visual anomaly detection in the manufacturing domain.
