原文摘要
Defect synthesis, as a core technology for addressing the problem of few-shot defect classification, has been widely adopted in industrial scenarios. It helps alleviate the problem of insufficient model generalization capability owing to data scarcity by establishing a data augmentation pipeline. Recently, remarkable progress has been achieved in both explicit defect image generation and implicit defect feature synthesis approaches. However, existing methods are always conducted in Euclidean space. Constrained by the flatness of Euclidean space, it is difficult to synthesize defect data containing complex structures. In this paper, we attempt to explore defect generation in hyperbolic space and propose a hyperbolic defect feature synthesis (HypDFS) method. By modeling the potential defect distribution via a small number of hyperbolic defect prototypes and further optimizing the synthetic defect features with the hierarchical defect contrastive loss in hyperbolic space, our HypDFS method can obtain a better generalized defect representation that is more conducive to downstream few-shot defect classification task. Extensive experiments on the MVTec-FS benchmark and standard MTD dataset under the few-shot settings demonstrate that the proposed HypDFS surpasses the Euclidean baseline by a large margin, showing promising prospects for defect synthesis in hyperbolic space.
