Towards Continual Visual Anomaly Detection in the Medical Domain

  • 用改进的PatchCore模型实现医疗图像异常检测的持续学习。
  • 在真实数据集上表现接近专用模型,遗忘率低于1%。
  • 适合需要长期更新、避免知识丢失的医疗视觉诊断场景。

视觉异常检测(VAD)旨在仅使用正常数据训练,识别异常图像并精确定位异常区域,已在制造和医疗领域证明其重要性。然而,输入数据分布随时间演变的问题尚未受到足够关注,而这类变化会显著降低模型性能。鉴于医疗影像数据的动态特性,持续学习(CL)为增量适应模型并保留已有知识提供了自然有效的框架。本研究首次探索了在医疗领域应用VAD模型进行持续学习的可行性。我们采用改进的知名模型PatchCore,构建了PatchCoreCL,并在包含图像级与像素级标注的真实医疗影像数据集BMAD上进行评估。结果表明,PatchCoreCL性能与任务专用模型相当,遗忘值低于1%,验证了持续学习在医疗视觉异常检测中的可行性和潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Visual Anomaly Detection (VAD) seeks to identify abnormal images and precisely localize the corresponding anomalous regions, relying solely on normal data during training. This approach has proven essential in domains such as manufacturing and, more recently, in the medical field, where accurate and explainable detection is critical. Despite its importance, the impact of evolving input data distributions over time has received limited attention, even though such changes can significantly degrade model performance. In particular, given the dynamic and evolving nature of medical imaging data, Continual Learning (CL) provides a natural and effective framework to incrementally adapt models while preserving previously acquired knowledge. This study explores for the first time the application of VAD models in a CL scenario for the medical field. In this work, we utilize a CL version of the well-established PatchCore model, called PatchCoreCL, and evaluate its performance using BMAD, a real-world medical imaging dataset with both image-level and pixel-level annotations. Our results demonstrate that PatchCoreCL is an effective solution, achieving performance comparable to the task-specific models, with a forgetting value less than a 1%, highlighting the feasibility and potential of CL for adaptive VAD in medical imaging.
