Anomaly detection is a long-standing challenge in manufacturing systems. Traditionally, anomaly detection has relied on human inspectors. However, 3D point clouds have gained attention due to their robustness to environmental factors and their ability to represent geometric data. Existing 3D anomaly detection methods generally fall into two categories. One compares scanned 3D point clouds with design files, assuming these files are always available. However, such assumptions are often violated in many real-world applications where model-free products exist, such as fresh produce (i.e., ``Cookie", ``Potato", etc.), dentures, bone, etc. The other category compares patches of scanned 3D point clouds with a library of normal patches named memory bank. However, those methods usually fail to detect incomplete shapes, which is a fairly common defect type (i.e., missing pieces of different products). The main challenge is that missing areas in 3D point clouds represent the absence of scanned points. This makes it infeasible to compare the missing region with existing point cloud patches in the memory bank. To address these two challenges, we proposed a unified, unsupervised 3D anomaly detection framework capable of identifying all types of defects on model-free products. Our method integrates two detection modules: a feature-based detection module and a reconstruction-based detection module. Feature-based detection covers geometric defects, such as dents, holes, and cracks, while the reconstruction-based method detects missing regions. Additionally, we employ a One-class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM) to fuse the detection results from both modules. The results demonstrate that (1) our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in identifying incomplete shapes and (2) it still maintains comparable performance with the SOTA methods in detecting all other types of anomalies. |
