Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Visual Anomaly Detection in Nondestructive Evaluation
摘要
Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) is essential for ensuring the reliability of industrial products, but deep learning–based visual inspection systems often fail when applied to new production conditions. These failures arise from domain shifts, such as changes in lighting, sensors, or materials, and correcting them usually requires costly re-annotation of data. To address this challenge, we present an unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) framework tailored for one-class anomaly detection in Automated Visual Inspection (AVI). Our approach combines adversarial feature alignment with statistical distribution matching, allowing the model to learn domain-invariant representations while maintaining high sensitivity to defects. Evaluation on the MVTec Anomaly Detection benchmark shows that the proposed method substantially reduces performance loss under domain shifts, achieving AUROC above 0.95 and PRO scores above 0.97 across multiple cross-domain scenarios. These findings demonstrate the practical value of our framework and establish a foundation for deploying reliable, scalable, and expert-level anomaly detection solutions in dynamic industrial environments.
