SA-PatchCore: Anomaly Detection in Dataset With Co-Occurrence Relationships Using Self-Attention

Abstract

Various unsupervised anomaly detection methods using deep learning have recently been proposed, and the accuracy of the anomaly detection technique for local anomalies has been improved. However, no anomaly detection dataset includes co-occurrence-related anomalies, which are combination-related. Thus, the accuracy of anomaly detection for co-occurrence-related anomalies has not progressed. Therefore, we propose SA-PatchCore, which introduces self-attention to the state-of-the-art local anomaly detection model, PatchCore. It detects anomalies in co-occurrence relationships and anomalies in local areas with the benefit of the self-attention module, which can consider contexts between separated words introduced first in the natural language processing field. As no anomaly detection dataset includes anomalies in co-occurrence relation, we prepared a new dataset called the Co-occurrence Anomaly Detection Screw Dataset (CAD-SD). Furthermore, we performed experiments on anomaly detection using the new dataset. SA-PatchCore achieves high anomaly detection performance compared with PatchCore in the CAD-SD. Moreover, our proposed model shows almost the same anomaly detection performance as PatchCore in an MVTec Anomaly Detection dataset, which is composed of anomalies in a local area. As a contribution to the anomaly detection task, we have released the CAD-SD to the public.
