In this context, the artificial intelligence field has been interested in defect detection with the creation of many machine learning techniques, focusing on Unsupervised and Semi-supervised learning methods. Since most of these methods use large models in their architectures, we propose a new model architecture that aims to adapt an already existing architecture into a leaner one. We present DifferSqueezeNet, a model that not only is smaller in size but also improves its baseline architecture, delivering better performance at image-level anomaly detection while consuming less computational resources.}, journal = {Journal of Computer Science}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
