This study demonstrates the effectiveness of diffusion models in improving data augmentation for surface defect detection. By leveraging diffusion models, researchers can generate more realistic in-distribution defects, enabling classification systems to learn genuine defect appearances. The proposed In&Out approach combines out-of-distribution and in-distribution samples for data augmentation, addressing zero-shot, few-shot, and full-shot scenarios. Experimental results on the Kolektor Surface-Defect Dataset 2 show a new state-of-the-art classification AP score of .782 under weak supervision. This paper contributes to the development of more robust defect detection classifiers by providing a novel approach for data augmentation using diffusion models.

This study shows how to make computers better at detecting defects on surfaces. Currently, computers are trained using real and fake images, but this can be limited. The researchers found that using “diffusion models” helps create more realistic fake images, which makes the computer learn what a real defect looks like. They proposed a new way of creating these fake images, called In&Out, which works in different situations. The results show that their approach is better than previous methods, and it can be used to improve defect detection.
