Abstract

A system and method for visual anomaly localization in a test image includes generating, in plurality of scaled iterations, attention maps for a test image using a trained classifier network, using image-level. A current attention map is generated using an inversion of the classifier network on a condition that a forward pass of the test image in the classifier network detects a first class. One or more attention regions of the current attention map may be extracted and resized as a sub-image. For each scaled iteration, extraction of one or more regions of a current attention map is performed on a condition that the current attention map is significantly different than the preceding attention map. Visual localization of a region for the class in the test image is based on one or more of the attention maps.
