The paper introduces LUMIN, a lightweight network for manufacturing anomaly detection, and PSP, a four‑stage adaptive memory bank sampling pipeline that eliminates backbone forward passes. PSP achieves near‑random construction speed, 341× faster than FPS, while parallel similarity computation and stratified pixel sampling cut inference time by 20× with minimal accuracy loss. Experiments on five benchmarks show that LUMIN and PSP reach state‑of‑the‑art sampling accuracy with dramatically reduced latency and memory usage.
arXiv:2604. 26633v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Industrial surface defect inspection suffers from a fundamental data bottleneck: defects are rare, annotations require expert knowledge, and collecting balanced training sets is slow and costly.
arXiv:2608. 07770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated anomaly detection methods often report strong performance on curated academic benchmarks, but their behavior under real-world industrial conditions is less clear.
The paper introduces a holistic framework that jointly optimizes architecture, token, and bit-width for Vision Transformers (ViTs). It uses Neural Architecture Search (AutoFormer) to find compact backbones, token merging (ToMe) to reduce information processing, and fp16 mixed‑precision inference to accelerate operations. Experiments on ImageNet‑1K and a real‑world 3D X‑ray semiconductor defect dataset show over 10× improvements in throughput and reductions in parameters, FLOPs, and energy while preserving accuracy.
arXiv:2606. 23851v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work investigates the implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) for real-time monitoring in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing.
The paper introduces ISP-AD, the largest publicly available industrial anomaly detection dataset, featuring both synthetic and real defects from a factory floor. It focuses on challenging, small, weakly contrasted surface defects within highly variable structured patterns, addressing the bias of existing datasets toward ideal imaging conditions. Experiments demonstrate that even a small amount of weakly labeled real defects improves model generalization and that synthetic defects can serve as a useful cold‑start baseline for scalable training.
CF-YOLO introduces a real‑time detection framework for camouflaged micro‑defects on industrial components, combining a Context‑Perception Aggregation Module (CPAM) that fuses large‑kernel macro‑texture cues with small‑kernel boundary details, and a Feature Additive Refinement Module (FARM) that globally refines fine‑grained anomaly representations. The authors also release the Copper Tube Defect Dataset (CTDD), a benchmark of 1,847 images with 4,898 annotated defect boxes. Experiments show CF‑YOLO outperforms baseline detectors such as YOLOv11 by 2.2% in mAP@50 and 3.9% in Precision while preserving real‑time speed.
arXiv:2605. 24251v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual anomaly detection (CAD) addresses the need for industrial inspection systems to adapt to evolving production conditions, yet existing methods share three critical gaps: unrealistic evaluation, no systematic comparison, and no consideration of edge deployment constraints.
arXiv:2607. 12245v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-shot industrial defect detection remains difficult for standard supervised detectors, which achieve poor performance on boundary-dominated industrial defects.
arXiv:2607. 06600v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Line segment detection is a key building block in visual SLAM, 3D reconstruction, and industrial inspection.
In modern high-throughput industrial production lines, product configurations and visual characteristics frequently change, making it impractical to collect and annotate data for every new scenario. This dynamic setting makes Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection (ZSAD) particularly suitable, as it enables defect detection without requiring training on target-specific samples.
