Enhancing industrial machine vision interpretability through saliency maps fusion
摘要
The interpretability of machine vision algorithms in industrial applications remains an escalating challenge to the reliable deployment of intelligent manufacturing, particularly given the complexity and diversity of traditional vision techniques. This manuscript proposes a novel visual explanation method based on the fusion of saliency maps to address the interpretability deficiency and enhance it accordingly. The proposed method generates robust visual explanations compatible with industrial applications by integrating weighted summation of output scores and data correlation analysis under encoded perturbations. Experiments on real-world industrial samples and the MVTec Industrial Anomaly Detection dataset demonstrate that the approach accurately highlights essential pattern regions and reflects the focus of algorithms, thereby improving the comprehension and trustworthiness of industrial machine vision applications. The proposed method contributes to the intuitive understanding of effectual machine vision mechanisms, mitigates potential misjudgment risks, and facilitates the scientific management of commercial vision integrations.
