🎯 [EPIC] Design and Implement the New AnomalibModule for v2.0

[samet-akcay]

Describe the epic

Design and implement the new AnomalibModule, which will serve as the core component of the Anomalib v2.0.0 release. This module will encapsulate all auxiliary operations (pre-processing, post-processing, evaluation, and visualization) as its main attributes, providing a unified and modular approach to anomaly detection pipelines.

For more details of the design, one could refer to the following slide deck.

Goals

• Create a flexible and extensible AnomalibModule as the cornerstone of Anomalib v2.0.0
• Implement auxiliary operations as attributes of AnomalibModule for improved modularity and reusability
• Ensure compatibility with various model architectures and training paradigms
• Simplify the process of creating and customizing anomaly detection pipelines
• Improve overall performance and scalability, including multi-GPU support
