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%.

Bridging Vision Foundation Model Priors with CLIP for Spatial-aware Few-shot Anomaly Detection in Medical Images

The paper introduces Spatial‑FAD, a few‑shot medical anomaly detection framework that fuses Vision‑Language Model (CLIP) semantics with spatial priors from Vision Foundation Models (DINO). A VFM‑enhanced adapter injects structural affinity into CLIP features, while a sliding‑window aggregation produces high‑resolution embeddings for finer lesion localization. Prototype‑enhanced support memory further improves efficiency and performance, yielding significant gains on Liver CT, Retinal OCT, and Brain MRI datasets, notably an 11.4% Dice improvement in 4‑shot scenarios.
