Pull request: Tiled Ensemble PR
Detecting defects in high-resolution images poses challenges, including limitations due to memory constraints. Downsampling leads to information loss and potentially missing small defects. A way to address this is the so-called tiled ensemble approach, where we split the image into smaller tiles and train separate models for each tile position. This way information is preserved, performance is improved, and memory constraints are managed.
In this GSoC project, tiled ensemble approach was implemented as part of Anomalib, a deep-learning anomaly detection library.
More information and insights from the entire journey can be found in the Anomalib discussions thread.
