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%.
The paper introduces PL‑SCEA, a method that reconfigures the attention mechanism of frozen Vision Foundation Models to better detect and localize anomalies in industrial images with few training examples. PL‑SCEA preserves the semantic context of pretrained query‑key attention while adding token‑adaptive self‑correlations over contextualized value features, then applies positive‑correlation filtering and power‑law reweighting to highlight task‑relevant relationships. The resulting features are fed into a lightweight variational autoencoder to produce reconstruction‑based anomaly scores, achieving competitive image‑level detection and strong pixel‑level localization on MVTec AD and VisA datasets.
Unified visual anomaly detection seeks to train a single detector that can be deployed across categories, domains, and application scenarios. In the few-shot transfer regime, the key challenge is to estimate an episode-specific boundary for an unseen target category from a small support set.
arXiv:2606. 01992v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial anomaly detection has historically been a unimodal task.
Vision foundation models have enabled strong training-free anomaly detection (AD). However, most existing approaches rely primarily on independent local patch features, leaving the global contextual information encoded by Vision Transformers (ViTs) underexploited.
