Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Industrial few-shot anomaly detection (FSAD) requires identifying various abnormal states by leveraging as few normal samples as possible (abnormal samples are unavailable during training). However, current methods often require training a separate model for each category, leading to increased computation and storage overhead. Thus, designing a unified anomaly detection model that supports multiple categories remains a challenging task, as such a model must recognize anomalous patterns across diverse objects and domains. To tackle these challenges, this paper introduces FocusPatch AD, a unified anomaly detection framework based on vision-language models, achieving anomaly detection under few-shot multi-class settings. FocusPatch AD links anomaly state keywords to highly relevant discrete local regions within the image, guiding the model to focus on cross-category anomalies while filtering out background interference. This approach mitigates the false detection issues caused by global semantic alignment in vision-language models. We evaluate the proposed method on the MVTec, VisA, and Real-IAD datasets, comparing them against several prevailing anomaly detection methods. In both image-level and pixel-level anomaly detection tasks, FocusPatch AD achieves significant gains in classification and localization performance, demonstrating excellent generalization and adaptability.
