  Application to Fetal Ultrasound Videos

Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is essential to improve the reliability
of machine learning models by detecting samples that do not belong to the
training distribution. Detecting OOD samples effectively in certain tasks can
pose a challenge because of the substantial heterogeneity within the
in-distribution (ID), and the high structural similarity between ID and OOD
classes. For instance, when detecting heart views in fetal ultrasound videos
there is a high structural similarity between the heart and other anatomies
such as the abdomen, and large in-distribution variance as a heart has 5
distinct views and structural variations within each view. To detect OOD
samples in this context, the resulting model should generalise to the
intra-anatomy variations while rejecting similar OOD samples. In this paper, we
introduce dual-conditioned diffusion models (DCDM) where we condition the model
on in-distribution class information and latent features of the input image for
reconstruction-based OOD detection. This constrains the generative manifold of
the model to generate images structurally and semantically similar to those
within the in-distribution. The proposed model outperforms reference methods
with a 12% improvement in accuracy, 22% higher precision, and an 8% better F1
score.
