Anomaly Machine Component Detection by Deep Generative Model with Unregularized Score
share
One of the most common needs in manufacturing plants is rejecting products not coincident with the standards as anomalies. Accurate and automatic anomaly detection improves product reliability and reduces inspection cost. Probabilistic models have been employed to detect test samples with lower likelihoods as anomalies in unsupervised manner. Recently, a probabilistic model called deep generative model (DGM) has been proposed for end-to-end modeling of natural images and already achieved a certain success. However, anomaly detection of machine components with complicated structures is still challenging because they produce a wide variety of normal image patches with low likelihoods. For overcoming this difficulty, we propose unregularized score for the DGM. As its name implies, the unregularized score is the anomaly score of the DGM without the regularization terms. The unregularized score is robust to the inherent complexity of a sample and has a smaller risk of rejecting a sample appearing less frequently but being coincident with the standards.
