Industrial anomaly detection (IAD) requires identifying fine-grained deviations from normal visual patterns. Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can improve recognition accuracy by comparing query images with references at inference time, but these benefits rely on additional retrieval and processing.
arXiv:2607. 18850v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have recently shown strong potential for industrial anomaly detection (IAD) by providing image-level anomaly judgments and interpretable defect reasoning.
The paper introduces Anomaly‑LR, a defect‑grounded latent reasoning framework for industrial anomaly detection that builds a global understanding of an image and then refines anomaly‑relevant representations directly in visual latent space. It also presents IAD‑LR‑22K, a new instruction dataset with 22,228 image‑question pairs and detailed annotations. Experiments demonstrate that Anomaly‑LR outperforms comparable‑scale methods on multiple IAD benchmarks without needing external references or tools.

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. 22437v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We conduct a systematic study of 18 widely used vision-language benchmarks and identify three major issues: 1) many items do not rely on visual cues and therefore fail to effectively measure multimodal understanding; 2) many items are already close to performance saturation for current LVLMs, which limits their discriminative power; 3) a small number of anomalous items affect the reliability of evaluation results.
The paper introduces Dual-Stream Semantic Guidance (DSSG), a framework for Source‑Fully‑Free Domain Adaptation of Vision‑Language Models that mitigates dual semantic drift through a caption stream and a class‑anchor stream. It adds a Dynamic Cross‑Modal Knowledge Distillation module and a Prototype Anchor Calibration extension (DSSG‑PAC) to reduce computation while maintaining performance. Experiments show DSSG outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods and DSSG‑PAC cuts adaptation time by 18.9% with minimal loss in accuracy.
