GeoMAD: Geometry-Aware Multi-View Anomaly Detection via Deformable Fusion and Distributional Alignment

GeoMAD is a multi‑view anomaly detection framework that fuses multiple camera viewpoints while maintaining geometric awareness and scalability to multi‑class industrial settings. It introduces a Cross‑view Deformable Fusion Module (CDFM) that learns view‑pair‑specific sampling offsets on 2D feature maps, enabling hierarchical cross‑view correspondence without camera calibration or voxel construction. Additionally, Distributional View Alignment (DVA) provides a self‑supervised loss that aligns bottleneck distributions across views, ensuring global consistency without pixel‑level correspondence. Together, CDFM and DVA achieve geometry‑aware, distribution‑consistent fusion and demonstrate strong detection and localization performance on Real‑IAD and MANTA‑Tiny datasets.

AT3D-AD: Anomaly Type-Aware 3D Anomaly Detection via Hierarchical Point-Language Alignment

AT3D-AD introduces a unified framework for detecting, localizing, and classifying 3D point‑cloud anomalies. It uses a Physics‑Driven Parametric Anomaly Synthesis module to generate synthetic defects for explicit supervision, a Hierarchical Global‑Local Anomaly Alignment module to refine representations, and a Semantic‑Geometric Anomaly Classification module to achieve precise, type‑discriminative localization. The method sets new state‑of‑the‑art results on four benchmarks, achieving high AUROC and Macro‑F1 scores.

SARFusion: Scene-Aware Routing Fusion for Robust Camera-LiDAR 3D Object Detection

SARFusion introduces a scene-aware routing approach for camera‑LiDAR 3D object detection, decoupling object‑query decoding into separate camera, LiDAR, and fusion branches. By estimating a global scene reliability prior and incorporating object‑level evidence, each query is routed to the most suitable branch, reducing cross‑modal interference. The method achieves strong performance on the nuScenes test set (72.5 mAP, 74.4 NDS) and demonstrates robustness to sensor corruptions and environmental changes.

Structure-Aware Matching for Robust UAV Thermal-to-Satellite Geo-Localization

The paper introduces SAMF, a Structure-Aware Matching Framework designed to improve UAV thermal-to-satellite geo‑localization by exploiting stable cross‑modal structural cues. It comprises a Directional Structure Enhancement Module that captures directional and low‑frequency spatial patterns, and a Modality‑Aware Affine Remapping Module that aligns these enhanced features across modalities. Experiments on Boson‑nighttime and Thermal‑UAV‑Paired datasets demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance, with ablation studies confirming the complementary benefits of the two modules.
