• Title: Don't Miss Out on Novelty: Importance of Novel Features for Deep Anomaly Detection
• Authors: Sarath Sivaprasad and Mario Fritz
• Abstract summary: Anomaly Detection (AD) is a critical task that involves identifying observations that do not conform to a learned model of normality. We propose a novel approach to AD using explainability to capture such novel features as unexplained observations in the input space. Our approach establishes a new state-of-the-art across multiple benchmarks, handling diverse anomaly types.

• Abstract: Anomaly Detection (AD) is a critical task that involves identifying observations that do not conform to a learned model of normality. Prior work in deep AD is predominantly based on a familiarity hypothesis, where familiar features serve as the reference in a pre-trained embedding space. While this strategy has proven highly successful, it turns out that it causes consistent false negatives when anomalies consist of truly novel features that are not well captured by the pre-trained encoding. We propose a novel approach to AD using explainability to capture such novel features as unexplained observations in the input space. We achieve strong performance across a wide range of anomaly benchmarks by combining familiarity and novelty in a hybrid approach. Our approach establishes a new state-of-the-art across multiple benchmarks, handling diverse anomaly types while eliminating the need for expensive background models and dense matching. In particular, we show that by taking account of novel features, we reduce false negative anomalies by up to 40% on challenging benchmarks compared to the state-of-the-art. Our method gives visually inspectable explanations for pixel-level anomalies.

  We propose MeLIAD, a novel methodology for interpretable anomaly detection. MeLIAD is based on metric learning and achieves interpretability by design without relying on any prior distribution assumptions of true anomalies. Experiments on five public benchmark datasets, including quantitative and qualitative evaluation of interpretability, demonstrate that MeLIAD achieves improved anomaly detection and localization performance.

  We adapt DINOv2 for one-shot and few-shot anomaly detection, with a focus on industrial applications. Our proposed vision-only approach, AnomalyDINO, is based on patch similarities and enables both image-level anomaly prediction and pixel-level anomaly segmentation. Despite its simplicity, AnomalyDINO achieves state-of-the-art results in one- and few-shot anomaly detection (e.g., pushing the one-shot performance on MVTec-AD from an AUROC of 93.1% to 96.6%).

  Video anomaly detection (VAD) with weak supervision has achieved remarkable performance in utilizing video-level labels to discriminate whether a video frame is normal or abnormal. Recent studies attempt to tackle a more realistic setting, open-set VAD, which aims to detect unseen anomalies given seen anomalies and normal videos. This paper takes a step further and explores open-vocabulary video anomaly detection (OVVAD), in which we aim to leverage pre-trained large models to detect and categorize seen and unseen anomalies.

  We consider the problem of anomaly detection with a small set of partially labeled anomaly examples and a large-scale unlabeled dataset. Existing related methods either exclusively fit the limited anomaly examples that typically do not span the entire set of anomalies, or proceed with unsupervised learning from the unlabeled data. We propose here instead a deep reinforcement learning-based approach that enables an end-to-end optimization of the detection of both labeled and unlabeled anomalies.
