AMI-Net: Adaptive Mask Inpainting Network for Industrial Anomaly Detection and Localization

Wei Luo, Haiming Yao, Wenyong Yu, Zhengyong Li·December 16, 2024

Summary

AMI-Net, an adaptive mask inpainting network, excels in unsupervised industrial anomaly detection. It uses a pre-trained network to extract multi-scale features, incorporating a random masking strategy during training. The innovative adaptive mask generator preserves normal regions while effectively masking anomalies, leveraging global contextual information for restoration. AMI-Net demonstrates high accuracy and real-time performance, suitable for industrial applications. It outperforms existing methods in detection and localization, achieving perfect image-level AUROC on several datasets. The adaptive mask generator, though effective, faces challenges with pose diversity in object categories, making AMI-Net more suitable for texture category detection.
