Abstract

This study introduces the Self-Supervised Iterative Refinement Process (IRP), a robust anomaly detection methodology tailored for high-stakes industrial quality control. The IRP leverages self-supervised learning to improve defect detection accuracy by employing a cyclic data refinement strategy that iteratively removes misleading data points, thereby improving model performance and robustness. We validate the effectiveness of the IRP using two benchmark datasets, Kolektor SDD2 (KSDD2) and MVTec-AD, covering a wide range of industrial products and defect types. Our experimental results demonstrate that the IRP consistently outperforms traditional anomaly detection models, particularly in environments with high noise levels. This study highlights the potential of IRP to significantly enhance anomaly detection processes in industrial settings, effectively managing the challenges of sparse and noisy data.
