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

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

A Unified Score Matching Paradigm for Video Anomaly Detection and Anticipation

The paper introduces Uni-DSM, a unified score-driven framework that uses denoising score matching to model video anomaly patterns for both detection and anticipation. It employs a shared noise-conditioned score transformer backbone with scene-dependent embeddings and motion-aware weighting, and differentiates between VAD and VAA through autoregressive denoising and a self-distilled denoising mechanism. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art performance for both tasks while maintaining high efficiency.

DPA: Decoupling Product-Agnostic Anomaly Representations for Zero-shot Anomaly Generation

The paper introduces DPA, a diffusion-based framework that decouples product-agnostic anomaly representations to enable zero-shot anomaly generation. By reusing real anomalies from existing source products and filtering them for plausibility, DPA learns product-irrelevant anomaly embeddings that can be transferred across products. An adaptive mask-guided pipeline and a training-free labeling module further refine the realism and localization of generated anomalies, leading to improved performance on MVTec-AD, VisA, and a new anomaly-transfer benchmark.

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.
