Incremental Learning-Based Algorithm for Anomaly Detection Using Computed Tomography Data

In a nuclear power plant (NPP), the used tools are visually inspected to ensure their integrity before and after their use in the nuclear reactor. The manual inspection is usually performed by qualified technicians and takes a large amount of time (weeks up to months). In this work, we propose an au...

description In a nuclear power plant (NPP), the used tools are visually inspected to ensure their integrity before and after their use in the nuclear reactor. The manual inspection is usually performed by qualified technicians and takes a large amount of time (weeks up to months). In this work, we propose an automated tool inspection that uses a classification model for anomaly detection. The deep learning model classifies the computed tomography (CT) images as defective (with missing components) or defect-free. Moreover, the proposed algorithm enables incremental learning (IL) using a proposed thresholding technique to ensure a high prediction confidence by continuous online training of the deployed online anomaly detection model. The proposed algorithm is tested with existing state-of-the-art IL methods showing that it helps the model quickly learn the anomaly patterns. In addition, it enhances the classification model confidence while preserving a desired minimal performance.
