Reconstruction-based methods are a cornerstone of unsupervised image anomaly detection, but they remain vulnerable to \emph{outlier leakage}, where standard mean squared error (MSE) loss drives the model to faithfully reconstruct anomalous patterns. We propose a Non-linear Reconstruction Loss that applies a sigmoid-based squashing function to suppress high-magnitude features, preventing outliers from dominating optimization while preserving sensitivity to normal patterns.
arXiv:2510. 24043v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper presents Two-Stage LKPLO, a novel multi-stage outlier detection framework that overcomes the coexisting limitations of conventional projection-based methods: their reliance on a fixed statistical metric and their assumption of a single data structure.

Recent Anomaly Detection methods achieve perfect detection and segmentation scores on well-established datasets, such as MVTec. However, many of these methods face challenges when foundational assumptions - such as consistent object scale, viewpoint, background, illumination, and centered placement - are violated.

arXiv:2606. 04073v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper proposes a two-stage pseudo anomaly-guided anomaly detection method (\textbf{T}wo-stage \textbf{P}seudo \textbf{A}nomaly-guided \textbf{A}nomaly \textbf{D}etection, \textbf{TPA-AD}) for axle-box bearing time-series anomaly detection (time series anomaly detection, TSAD) under the setting where only normal samples are available for training.
Detecting and localizing defects in 3D point clouds is challenging because abnormal samples are scarce and diverse, while training is often limited to normal data. We propose Anomaly Factory 3D (AF3AD), a modular framework that synthesizes diverse pseudo-anomalies from normal point clouds to expand the training data for unsupervised 3D anomaly detection methods that rely on pseudo-anomalies.
