DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR TOPOLOGICAL NORMALIZATION FOR ANOMALY DETECTION

Some embodiments of devices, systems, and methods obtain at least one first image, wherein the at least one first image is defined in an image space; select at least one feature in the at least one first image; define a topology based on the at least one feature; generate a topology mapping between the topology and the image-space topology; obtain a plurality of anomaly scores, wherein each anomaly score of the plurality of anomaly scores was generated based on a respective detection area in a second image; map the plurality of anomaly scores to the topology based on the topology mapping; and normalize each anomaly score in the plurality of anomaly scores based on the respective neighboring anomaly scores in the topology, thereby generating normalized anomaly scores.
