An example system includes a processor that can randomly mask tokens using different masks to generate different subsets of masked tokens. The processor can process the different sets of masked tokens via a pretrained masked auto-encoder (MAE) encoder to output intermediate representations. The processor can process the intermediate representations via a pretrained MAE decoder to output reconstructed images. The processor can further compare input image with the output reconstructed images to generate an anomaly score.

A method of processing an input image comprises receiving the input image, storing the image in a memory, and accessing, by an image processor, a computer readable medium storing a trained deep learning network. A first part of the deep learning network has convolutional layers providing low-level features extracted from the input image, and convolutional layers providing a residual image. A second part of the deep learning network has convolutional layers for receiving the low-level features and extracting high-level features based on the low-level features. The method feeds the input image to the trained deep learning network, and applies a transformation to the residual image based on the extracted high-level features.

A method can include learning a common embedding space and a set of parameters for each one of a plurality of sets of mixture models, wherein one mixture model is associated with one class of objects within a set of object categories. The method can also include adding new mixture models to the set of mixture models to support novel categories based on a set of example embedding vectors computed for each one of the novel categories. Additionally, the method includes detecting in images a plurality of boxes with associated labels and corresponding confidence scores, wherein the boxes correspond to image regions comprising objects of both known categories and the novel categories. Furthermore, the method includes, given a query image, executing an instruction based on the common embedding space and the set of mixture models, the instruction comprising identifying objects from both categories in the query image.
