Patch-aware Vector Quantized Codebook Learning For Unsupervised Visual Defect Detection

Qisen Cheng, Shuhui Qu, Janghwan Lee Β· 2024 IEEE 36th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI) Β· 2025

Unsupervised visual defect detection is critical in industrial applications, requiring a representation space that captures normal data features while detecting deviations. Achieving a balance between expressiveness and compactness is challenging; an overly expressive space risks inefficiency and mode collapse, impairing detection accuracy. We propose a novel approach using an enhanced VQ-VAE framework optimized for unsupervised defect detection. Our model introduces a patch-aware dynamic code assignment scheme, enabling context-sensitive code allocation to optimize spatial representation. This strategy enhances normal-defect distinction and improves detection accuracy during inference. Experiments on MVTecAD, BTAD, and MTSD datasets show our method achieves state-of-the-art performance.
