LiZAD: A Lightweight Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection Framework for Industrial Manufacturing

In modern high-throughput industrial production lines, product configurations and visual characteristics frequently change, making it impractical to collect and annotate data for every new scenario. This dynamic setting makes Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection (ZSAD) particularly suitable, as it enables defect detection without requiring training on target-specific samples.

Beyond Normal References: Discriminative Few-Shot Anomaly Detection

This paper introduces IDEAL, a framework for few-shot anomaly detection that uses both normal and anomalous reference examples. IDEAL suppresses irrelevant normal variations and encodes intrinsic deviation vectors that capture discriminative anomaly directions. Experiments on eight real-world datasets show that IDEAL generalizes to unseen anomalies and outperforms existing methods.

Adversarially Robust Few-Shot Anomaly Detection with Vision Foundation Models

Vision foundation models such as DINOv2 enable strong few‑shot anomaly detection (FSAD) using a frozen backbone and a non‑parametric k‑nearest‑neighbor (k‑NN) scorer. The paper introduces a white‑box attack framework for k‑NN memory‑bank detectors and proposes an adversarially robust FSAD method that is training‑free with respect to the backbone. The defense combines a PatchShift input augmentation and a FeaturePurifier residual MLP, achieving significant gains in image‑level AUROC (~27%) and pixel‑level PRO (~51%) on MVTec‑AD, VisA, and MPDD while maintaining clean accuracy within 3%. whyItMatters:"The work addresses the previously unstudied few‑shot regime for robust anomaly detection, providing a practical, training‑free defense that matches full‑shot adversarially‑trained baselines and improves performance under adversarial attacks."
