anomalib VS pytorch-image-models

This talk highlights the role of Anomalib, an open-source deep learning framework, in advancing anomaly detection within AI systems, particularly showcased at the upcoming CVPR Visual Anomaly and Novelty Detection (VAND) workshop. Anomalib integrates advanced algorithms and tools to facilitate both academic research and practical applications in sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and security. It features capabilities such as experiment tracking, model optimization, and scalable deployment solutions. Additionally, the discussion will include Anomalib’s participation in the VAND challenge, focusing on robust real-world applications and few-shot learning for anomaly detection.

Then, when it comes to semi-supervised learning for anomaly detection, I had positive experiences with Anomalib which offers a robust library dedicated to deep learning anomaly detection algorithms. They implemented the latest models with PyTorch and offer tools to benchmark their performance.

Anomalib is an open-source library for unsupervised anomaly detection in images. It offers a collection of state-of-the-art models that can be trained on your specific images.

Anomalib is an open-source deep learning library developed by Intel that makes it easy to benchmark different anomaly detection algorithms on both public and custom datasets, all by simply modifying a config file. As the largest public collection of anomaly detection algorithms and datasets, it has a strong focus on image-based anomaly detection. It’s a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that includes cutting-edge algorithms, relevant evaluation methods, prediction visualizations, hyperparameter optimization, and inference deployment code with Intel’s OpenVINO Toolkit.

Anomaly detection typically refers to the task of finding unusual or rare items that deviate significantly from what is considered to be the "normal" majority. In this blogpost, we look at image anomalies using PatchCore. Next to indicating which images are anomalous, PatchCore also identifies the most anomalous pixel regions within each image. One big advantage of PatchCore is that it only requires normal images for training, making it attractive for many use cases where abnormal images are rare or expensive to acquire. In some cases, we don't even know all the unusual patterns that we might encounter and training a supervised model is not an option. One example use case is the detection of defects in industrial manufacturing, where most defects are rare by definition as production lines are optimised to produce as few of them as possible. Recent approaches have made significant progress on anomaly detection in images, as demonstrated on the MVTec industrial benchmark dataset. PatchCore, presented at CVPR 2022, is one of the frontrunners in this field. In this blog post we first dive into the inner workings of PatchCore. Next, we apply it to an example in medical imaging to gauge its applicability outside of industrial examples. We use the anomalib library, which was developed by Intel and offers ready-to-use implementations of many recent image anomaly detection methods.

I am a PyTorch user I work in CV, I usually use the PyTorch models. However, I see people use timm in research papers to train their models I don't understand what it is timm is it a new framework like PyTorch? Further, when I click https://pypi.org/project/timm/ homepage it takes me to hugging face GitHub https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models is there any connection between timm and hugging face many of my friends use hugging face but I also don't know about hugging face I use simple PyTorch and torchvision.models.

additionally, you might find the timm library handy for this sort of work.

This is still being pursued. Ross Wightmann's timm[0,1] package (now on Hugging Face) has done a lot of this. There's also a V2 of ConvNext[2]. Ross does write about this a lot on Twitter fwiw. I should also mention that there are still many transformer based networks that still beat convs. So there probably won't be a resurgence in convs until someone can show that there's a really strong reason for them. They have some advantages but they also might not be flexible enough for the long range tasks in segmentation and detection. But maybe they are.

FAIR definitely did great work with ConvNext, and I do hope to see more. There always needs to be people pushing unpopular paradigms.

I am doing Binary classification with a pre-trained EfficientNet tf_efficientnet_l2. I froze all weights during training and replaced the classifier with a custom trainable one that looks like:

In this post, I’m going to show you how you can pick from over 900+ SOTA models on TIMM, train them using best practices with Fastai, and deploy them on Android using Flutter.

The other thing is, try to find tricks to speed up your experiments (if not having done so already). The most obvious are mixed precision training, have your model train on a lower resolution input first and then increase the resolution later in the training, stochastic depth, and a bunch more stuffs. Look for implementations in https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models .
