Anomaly detection using image-based physical characterization
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for anomaly detection, the method comprising:
- reading, by a processor, a scale in image data representing an image of a plurality of physical characteristics, wherein the scale is determined by reading pixel data of the image data into a two-dimensional matrix, dissecting the two-dimensional matrix to retain a scaling portion of the image data expected to graphically depict scaling information based on a known format, and analyzing the scaling portion of the image data expected to graphically depict scaling information to identify a legend label;
resizing, by the processor, at least a portion of the image data to align with target image data representing a target image of one or more structures based at least in part on the scale to form resized image data representing one or more resized images;
applying, by the processor, noise reduction to the resized image data to produce test image data representing one or more test images;
performing, by the processor, a best fit analysis on the test image data with respect to the target image data to determine a best fit;
storing the test image data of at least one of the test images having the best fit with training image data representing a plurality of classification training images indicative of one or more recognized features; and
identifying an anomaly in unclassified image data representing an unclassified image based at least in part on an anomaly detector as trained using the classification training images.

Abstract
An aspect of the invention includes reading a scale in image data representing an image of physical characteristics and resizing at least a portion of the image data to align with target image data representing a target image based at least in part on the scale to form resized image data representing one or more resized images. Noise reduction is applied to the resized image data to produce test image data representing one or more test images. A best fit analysis is performed on the test image data with respect to the target image data. Test image data having the best fit are stored with training image data representing classification training images indicative of one or more recognized features. An anomaly in unclassified image data representing an unclassified image is identified based at least in part on an anomaly detector as trained using the classification training images.
