DINOv2 memory banks improved for steel defect detection

Researchers have developed a contamination-aware method for DINOv2 memory banks to improve few-shot steel defect detection. This approach addresses the issue of unverified industrial images introducing anomalies into the reference bank. By scoring and filtering suspicious patches before merging them with a clean seed bank, the proposed method significantly reduces residual contamination and enhances detection accuracy compared to naive expansion or random removal techniques.

IMPACT Introduces a novel technique for improving anomaly detection in industrial settings using existing vision models.

    When More References Hurt: Contamination-Aware DINOv2 Memory Banks for Few-Shot Steel Defect Detection

    arXiv:2608.22082v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Patch-memory anomaly detectors assume that their reference bank is normal, an assumption that is difficult to guarantee when additional industrial images are unverified. We study whether a few trusted normal images can safely recove…
