Memory-bank anomaly detection achieving 99.6% AUROC on manufacturing defects
amazon/patchcore-resnet50mixpeek://image_extractor@v1/amazon_patchcore_r50_v1Overview
PatchCore solves cold-start anomaly detection in industrial manufacturing using only normal (non-defective) images. It builds a maximally representative memory bank of nominal patch-level features from ImageNet-pretrained models, then uses nearest-neighbor outlier detection.
On Mixpeek, PatchCore enables visual quality inspection: upload examples of normal products, and detect defects, anomalies, and deviations automatically.
Architecture
Builds a coreset memory bank of mid-level patch features from a frozen ResNet-50 (ImageNet-pretrained). Uses greedy coreset subsampling for efficient memory. Anomaly scoring via nearest-neighbor distance to the memory bank.
Mixpeek SDK Integration
// No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
// GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so patchcore-resnet50 runs
// on your side and the output is upserted through POST
// /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/upsert. On Enterprise the other
// path is to upload the weights instead: POST /v1/namespaces/{id}/models
// accepts the huggingface format and a custom plugin loads them.

// No managed alternative for an open label set. Two extractors do emit a
// bbox, for the one thing each detects: document_graph_extractor@v1 per
// layout block, face_identity_extractor@v1 per face. Nothing ships that
// returns masks, depth maps or anomaly scores.Capabilities
- 99.6% AUROC on MVTec AD benchmark
- Cold-start: only needs normal images, no defect examples
- Pixel-level anomaly localization maps
- Halved the error of previous best methods
