A Structured Benchmark for Text-Guided Anomaly Detection: When Language Stops Conditioning the Decision
arXiv:2606. 01992v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial anomaly detection has historically been a unimodal task.
TED:Text-Axis Evidence Decomposition for Prompted Anomaly Localization
The paper introduces TED (Text-Axis Evidence Decomposition), a post‑hoc scoring method that improves anomaly localization in CLIP‑based detectors without altering the backbone or prompts. TED evaluates whether ambiguous responses are better supported by defect patches or normal patches, thereby distinguishing true defects from visually complex normal regions. Experiments show that TED significantly enhances pixel‑level localization across frozen VLM backbones and adapted hosts, especially under hard‑false‑positive competition.

Crane: Context-Guided Prompt Learning and Attention Refinement for Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection
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%.

See More, Detect Less? Taming Information Leakage in Multi-View Anomaly Detection
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.

ShiftSplit-AD: Separating Domain Shift from Defects in Foundation-Feature Visual Anomaly Detection
ShiftSplit-AD is a method that separates domain shift from defects in visual anomaly detection by decomposing the residual matrix of DINOv2 features into low‑rank and row‑sparse components. The sparse component is used for scoring anomalies, optionally fused with the low‑rank part. Experiments on AeBAD‑S show that sparse‑only scoring raises image AUROC from 0.6780 to 0.7294 and AUPRC from 0.8052 to 0.8465, but it also lowers clean AUROC on MVTec categories and hurts Bottle localization, highlighting a trade‑off between filtering shift and preserving defect information.

Probe-VAD: Ordinal Likelihood Probing for Training-Free Video Anomaly Detection
Probe‑VAD introduces an ordinal binary‑probing framework that leverages frozen vision‑language models for training‑free video anomaly detection. By querying ten ordered severity thresholds and extracting YES/NO continuation likelihoods, it builds a cumulative severity profile that is converted into a continuous anomaly score with isotonic projection for ordinal consistency. Experiments on public benchmarks show that this simple interface yields superior performance at low computational cost, avoiding the limitations of caption‑based compression or restricted numerical scoring.

Unification of Closed-Open Industrial Detection Scenarios: New Large-Scale Benchmarks,Challenges and Baselines
arXiv:2606. 07953v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale Visual-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable success in natural visual tasks, yet their application to industrial defect detection remains challenging due to two fundamental limitations: (i) the scarcity of large-scale industrial datasets that cover diverse defect categories across multiple domains, and (ii) the reliance on manual prompts (points, boxes, masks) that introduce subjective noise and lack text-visual interaction for fine-grained understanding.
