Abstract
This paper introduces anomalib <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> , a novel library for unsupervised anomaly detection and localization. With reproducibility and modularity in mind, this open-source library provides algorithms from the literature and a set of tools to design custom anomaly detection algorithms via a plug-and-play approach. Anomalib comprises state-of-the-art anomaly detection algorithms that achieve top performance on the benchmarks and that can be used off-the-shelf. In addition, the library provides components to design custom algorithms that could be tailored towards specific needs. Additional tools, including experiment trackers, visualizers, and hyper-parameter optimizers, make it simple to design and implement anomaly detection models. The library also supports OpenVINO model-optimization and quantization for real-time deployment. Overall, anomalib is an extensive library for the design, implementation, and deployment of unsupervised anomaly detection models from data to the edge.
