📝 Abstract
Identifying isolated points is important in image processing applications such as medical imaging, astronomy and quality control management. Other domains, such as cybersecurity, also present challenges that can be framed as image processing problems. One example of particular interest is the identification of anomalous single nodes in spatially organised networks where groups of nodes in different regions share similar feature values. This task can involve both binary and more complex grayscale images. However, existing methods face limitations: template matching is infeasible for grayscale images, while 2nd order derivative based methods are highly sensitive to noise and require user-specified thresholds. To overcome these issues, a novel method is proposed for detecting meaningful single-pixel deviations in images. This approach modifies and extends a neuron model, originally designed for anomaly detection, to operate on spatially diameter limited receptive fields that incorporate excitatory and inhibitory regions. The result is a method that is free from user-specified thresholds and parameters, and can be applied to both binary and grayscale images, providing an effective, robust and efficient solution.
