Contrastive Knowledge Distillation for Anomaly Detection in Multi-Illumination/Focus Display Images

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces a contrastive learning approach for anomaly detection in multi-illumination and multi-focus display images. It builds on Multiresolution Knowledge Distillation (MKD) and proposes Multiresolution Contrastive Distillation (MCD), which eliminates the need for explicit positive/negative pairs by adjusting distances between teacher and student features. A blending module aggregates multi-channel data into a three‑channel input, and the method achieves superior AUROC and accuracy on the MMdAD dataset compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines.

Visual Prompting Meets Feature Reconstruction-Based Anomaly Detection with Dual-Teacher Supervision

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.

Fine-Grained Anomaly Perception in Wild UGC-Enhanced Images: A Comprehensive Dataset and Difference-Fusion Framework

The paper introduces a new task called Quality Anomaly Perception for UGC Image Enhancement (UEAP) and presents the first benchmark dataset, UEAP-4k, featuring fine‑grained annotations of anomaly categories, locations, and severity levels in real‑world user‑generated content. It proposes the Difference‑Fusion Anomaly Perception Method (DFAP‑UGC), which fuses explicit differences between enhanced images and their references using dense spatial querying, regional verification, and quality‑aware ranking to robustly identify localized anomalies. A Locality‑Aware Dynamic Task Prioritization (LADTP) training strategy is also introduced to enable efficient end‑to‑end learning without multi‑stage overhead, and experiments demonstrate that DFAP‑UGC outperforms adapted classical baselines.

CFR-Net:Collaborative Feature Refnement Network for Medical Image Anomaly Detection

Medical image anomaly detection remains challenging because networks pretrained on natural images often exhibit limited adaptability to medical images, where abnormal patterns appear as fine-grained local shifts, multi-scale contextual mismatches, and orientation-sensitive structural deviations. To address this, we propose the Collaborative Feature Refinement Network (CFR-Net), which combines shared teacher-student feature refinement before decoding with cross-space consistency after decoding.
