arXiv:2607. 23924v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision foundation models have enabled strong training-free anomaly detection (AD).
Vision foundation models have enabled strong training-free anomaly detection (AD). However, most existing approaches rely primarily on independent local patch features, leaving the global contextual information encoded by Vision Transformers (ViTs) underexploited.
The paper introduces PL‑SCEA, a method that reconfigures the attention mechanism of frozen Vision Foundation Models to better detect and localize anomalies in industrial images with few training examples. PL‑SCEA preserves the semantic context of pretrained query‑key attention while adding token‑adaptive self‑correlations over contextualized value features, then applies positive‑correlation filtering and power‑law reweighting to highlight task‑relevant relationships. The resulting features are fed into a lightweight variational autoencoder to produce reconstruction‑based anomaly scores, achieving competitive image‑level detection and strong pixel‑level localization on MVTec AD and VisA datasets.
The paper identifies a problem in multi‑view anomaly detection called cross‑view information leakage, where fusing multiple inspection views can cause normal features to mask anomalies during reconstruction. To address this, the authors propose GLAD, a framework that uses a Global‑Local Attention Driven approach, combining vision foundation model features with two fusion modules: Multi‑view Merging Attention for local, weighted fusion and Object‑Guided Attention for global context aggregation. Experiments on Real‑IAD and MANTA‑Tiny demonstrate that GLAD outperforms existing methods across various metrics, underscoring the importance of restricting information flow to preserve the reconstruction gap.
Crane is a CLIP‑based framework for zero‑shot anomaly detection that enhances dense localization by adapting the vision encoder with a correlation‑based attention module and conditioning learnable prompts on global image context. It further fuses anomaly‑relevant patch features into the global representation for more sensitive image‑level detection, and a variant called Crane+ leverages DINOv2 spatial correlations for stronger pixel‑level performance. Across seven industrial benchmarks, Crane raises mean image‑level AP by 4.5% and Crane+ boosts mean pixel‑level AUPRO by 9.0%.
The paper introduces a training‑free anomaly detector that simultaneously handles structural and logical defects by calibrating heterogeneous anomaly cues with statistics from normal images. This calibration aligns frozen representations, allowing their fusion without extra training or part‑level supervision. The resulting method achieves state‑of‑the‑art AUROC scores on MVTec‑LOCO and remains competitive on MVTec‑AD.
Unified visual anomaly detection seeks to train a single detector that can be deployed across categories, domains, and application scenarios. In the few-shot transfer regime, the key challenge is to estimate an episode-specific boundary for an unseen target category from a small support set.
arXiv:2606. 01992v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial anomaly detection has historically been a unimodal task.
The paper introduces a new task called Quality Anomaly Perception for UGC Image Enhancement (UEAP) and presents the first benchmark dataset, UEAP-4k, featuring fine‑grained annotations of anomaly categories, locations, and severity levels in real‑world user‑generated content. It proposes the Difference‑Fusion Anomaly Perception Method (DFAP‑UGC), which fuses explicit differences between enhanced images and their references using dense spatial querying, regional verification, and quality‑aware ranking to robustly identify localized anomalies. A Locality‑Aware Dynamic Task Prioritization (LADTP) training strategy is also introduced to enable efficient end‑to‑end learning without multi‑stage overhead, and experiments demonstrate that DFAP‑UGC outperforms adapted classical baselines.
