A method for analyzing an image for anomaly detection includes obtaining a first image. The method also includes generating a second image by auto-encoding the first image. The method additionally includes extracting first and second feature vectors from the first and second images, respectively. The method further includes filtering each of the first and second feature vectors by using a filtering vector generated based on first distance values between first respective elements of the first and second feature vectors. Additionally, the method includes determining whether there is an anomaly in the first image based on second distance values between second respective elements of the filtered first and second feature vectors.
