A Neural Network for Image Anomaly Detection with Deep Pyramidal Representations and Dynamic Routing

    Image anomaly detection is an application-driven problem where the aim is to identify novel samples, which differ significantly from the normal ones. We here propose Pyramidal Image Anomaly DEtector (PIADE), a deep reconstruction-based pyramidal approach, in which image features are extracted at different scale levels to better catch the peculiarities that could help to discriminate between normal and anomalous data. The features are dynamically routed to a reconstruction layer and anomalies can be identified by comparing the input image with its reconstruction. Unlike similar approaches, the comparison is done by using structural similarity and perceptual loss rather than trivial pixel-by-pixel comparison. The proposed method performed at par or better than the state-of-the-art methods when tested on publicly available datasets such as CIFAR10, COIL-100 and MVTec.
