Towards Continual Adaptation in Industrial Anomaly Detection
Anomaly detection (AD) has gained widespread attention due to its ability to identify defects in industrial scenarios using only normal samples. Although traditional AD methods achieved acceptable performance, they mainly focus on the current set of examples solely, leading to catastrophic forgetting of previously learned tasks when trained on a new one. Due to the limitation of flexibility and the requirements of realistic industrial scenarios, it is urgent to enhance the ability of continual adaptation of AD models. There- fore, this paper proposes a unified framework by incorporating continual learning (CL) to achieve our newly designed task of con- tinual anomaly detection (CAD). Note that, we observe that data augmentation strategy can make AD methods well adapted to su- pervised CL (SCL) via constructing anomaly samples. Based on this, we hence propose a novel method named Distribution of Nor- mal Embeddings (DNE), which utilizes the feature distribution of normal training samples from past tasks. It not only effectively alleviates catastrophic forgetting in CAD but also can be integrated with SCL methods to further improve their performance. Extensive experiments and visualization results on the popular benchmark dataset MVTec AD, have demonstrated advanced performance and the excellent continual adaption ability of our proposed method compared to other AD methods. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to introduce and tackle the task of CAD. We believe that the proposed task and benchmark will be beneficial to the field of AD. Our code is available in the supplementary material.
