TL;DR
This work tackles texture-driven anomaly detection in high-dimensional images by introducing TBSD, a decomposition framework that explicitly models textures via quasi-periodicity and couples this with a smooth background prior. The method learns texture basis functions from a small set of defect-free images and uses them as priors in an optimization that separates background, textures, and anomalies, thereby reducing texture misidentification. TBSD demonstrates superior anomaly detection performance on both simulated and real industrial textures, with competitive computational complexity and robustness to non-ideal training data. The approach offers practical benefits for smart manufacturing where textured surfaces pose distinct challenges for conventional anomaly detectors.
Abstract
In the realm of diverse high-dimensional data, images play a significant role across various processes of manufacturing systems where efficient image anomaly detection has emerged as a core technology of utmost importance. However, when applied to textured defect images, conventional anomaly detection methods have limitations including non-negligible misidentification, low robustness, and excessive reliance on large-scale and structured datasets. This paper proposes a texture basis integrated smooth decomposition (TBSD) approach, which is targeted at efficient anomaly detection in textured images with smooth backgrounds and sparse anomalies. Mathematical formulation of quasi-periodicity and its theoretical properties are investigated for image texture estimation. TBSD method consists of two principal processes: the first process learns the texture basis functions to effectively extract quasi-periodic texture patterns; the subsequent anomaly detection process utilizes that texture basis as prior knowledge to prevent texture misidentification and capture potential anomalies with high accuracy.The proposed method surpasses benchmarks with less misidentification, smaller training dataset requirement, and superior anomaly detection performance on both simulation and real-world datasets.
