• Abstract: Anomaly detection (AD) is a fundamental task in computer vision. It aims to identify incorrect image data patterns which deviate from the normal ones. Conventional methods generally address AD by preparing augmented negative samples to enforce self-supervised learning. However, these techniques typically do not consider semantics during augmentation, leading to the generation of unrealistic or invalid negative samples. Consequently, the feature extraction network can be hindered from embedding critical features. In this study, inspired by visual attention learning approaches, we propose CutSwap, which leverages saliency guidance to incorporate semantic cues for augmentation. Specifically, we first employ LayerCAM to extract multilevel image features as saliency maps and then perform clustering to obtain multiple centroids. To fully exploit saliency guidance, on each map, we select a pixel pair from the cluster with the highest centroid saliency to form a patch pair. Such a patch pair includes highly similar context information with dense semantic correlations. The resulting negative sample is created by swapping the locations of the patch pair. Compared to prior augmentation methods, CutSwap generates more subtle yet realistic negative samples to facilitate quality feature learning. Extensive experimental and ablative evaluations demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art AD performance on two mainstream AD benchmark datasets.

  Using search engines for web image retrieval is a tempting alternative to manual curation when creating an image dataset. Their main drawback remains the proportion of incorrect (noisy) samples retrieved. We propose a two stage algorithm starting with a detection step where we use unsupervised contrastive feature learning. We find that the alignment and uniformity principles of contrastive learning allow OOD samples to be linearly separated from ID samples on the unit hypersphere.

  Existing works in self-supervised landmark detection are based on learning dense (pixel-level) feature representations from an image.

We show that having such a prior in the feature extractor helps in landmark detection, even under drastically limited number of annotations.

To explore the full potential of landmarks, we incorporate a prototypical alignment (PA) module which calculates a target prototype for each class from the landmarks. Specifically, we severely perturb the labeled images, making PA non-trivial to achieve and thus promoting model generalizability.
