As life becomes richer day by day, the requirement for quality industrial products is becoming greater and greater. Therefore, image anomaly detection on industrial products is of significant importance and has become a research hotspot. Industrial manufacturers are also gradually intellectualizing how product parts may have flaws and defects, and that industrial product image anomalies have characteristics such as category diversity, sample scarcity, and the uncertainty of change; thus, a higher requirement for image anomaly detection has arisen. For this reason, we proposed a method of industrial image anomaly detection that applies a generative adversarial network based on attention feature fusion. For the purpose of capturing richer image channel features, we added attention feature fusion based on an encoder and decoder, and through skip-connection, this performs the feature fusion for the encode and decode vectors in the same dimension. During training, we used random cut-paste image augmentation, which improved the diversity of the datasets. We displayed the results of a wide experiment, which was based on the public industrial detection MVTec dataset. The experiment illustrated that the method we proposed has a higher level AUC and the overall result was increased by 4.1%. Finally, we realized the pixel level anomaly localization of the industrial dataset, which illustrates the feasibility and effectiveness of this method
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
