Anomaly detection or outlier is one of the challenging subjects in unsupervised learning . This paper is introduced a student-teacher framework for anomaly detection that its teacher network is enhanced for achieving high-performance metrics . For this purpose , we first pre-train the ResNet-18 network on the ImageNet and then fine-tune it on the MVTech-AD dataset . Experiment results on the image-level and pixel-level demonstrate that this idea has achieved better metrics than the previous methods . Our model , Enhanced Teacher for Student-Teacher Feature Pyramid (ET-STPM), achieved 0.971 mean accuracy on the image-level and 0.977 mean accuracy on the pixel-level for anomaly detection.
