Deep Visual Anomaly Detection in Industrial Manufacturing: A Survey

The recent rapid development of deep learning has laid a milestone in visual anomaly detection (VAD). In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of deep learning-based visual anomaly detection techniques, from the perspectives of neural network architectures, levels of supervision, loss functions, metrics and datasets. In addition, we extract the new setting from industrial manufacturing and review the current VAD approaches under our proposed our new setting. Moreover, we highlight several opening challenges for visual anomaly detection. The merits and downsides of representative network architectures under varying supervision are discussed. Finally, we summarize the research findings and point out future research directions. More resources are available at https://github.com/M-3LAB/awesome-industrial-anomaly-detection
