Abstract:Data augmentation is a promising technique for unsupervised anomaly detection in industrial applications, where the availability of positive samples is often limited due to factors such as commercial competition and sample collection difficulties. In this paper, how to effectively select and apply data augmentation methods for unsupervised anomaly detection is studied. The impact of various data augmentation methods on different anomaly detection algorithms is systematically investigated through experiments. The experimental results show that the performance of different industrial image anomaly detection (termed as IAD) algorithms is not significantly affected by the specific data augmentation method employed and that combining multiple data augmentation methods does not necessarily yield further improvements in the accuracy of anomaly detection, although it can achieve excellent results on specific methods. These findings provide useful guidance on selecting appropriate data augmentation methods for different requirements in IAD.
Abstract:Retrospectively gated cine (retro-cine) MRI is the clinical standard for cardiac functional analysis. Deep learning (DL) based methods have been proposed for the reconstruction of highly undersampled MRI data and show superior image quality and magnitude faster reconstruction time than CS-based methods. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether DL reconstruction is suitable for cardiac function analysis. To address this question, in this study we evaluate and compare the cardiac functional values (EDV, ESV and EF for LV and RV, respectively) obtained from highly accelerated MRI acquisition using DL based reconstruction algorithm (DL-cine) with values from CS-cine and conventional retro-cine. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to evaluate the cine MRI with deep learning reconstruction for cardiac function analysis and compare it with other conventional methods. The cardiac functional values obtained from cine MRI with deep learning reconstruction are consistent with values from clinical standard retro-cine MRI.
