FastFlow: Fast Anomaly Detection in Images with 2D Flow

FastFlow is a new way to spot things that don't belong in photos.
It learns what normal looks like using images only, so you don't need lots of labeled problem pictures.
2D flow is a simple map it uses to turn image details into an easy pattern, and that helps it give a clear score when something is odd.
It works as a plug-in for popular image models, so you can add it to systems already in use.
The method links small patches and the whole image, so tiny defects aren't missed.
It finds and points out the bad area, fast, inspection can be almost real time, and often way faster than older ways.
Tested on real factory images it reached 99.
4% AUC
, beating many earlier methods.
If you care about catching hidden problems, anomalies get spotted with speed and calm.
It's simple to add, runs quick and needs no labeled faults to learn, you might be surprised how well it works.
