Real-IAD MVN: A Multi-View Normal Vector Dataset and Benchmark for High-Fidelity Industrial Anomaly Detection

Industrial Anomaly Detection (IAD) is critical for quality control, but existing methods struggle with subtle, geometric defects. Standard 2D (RGB) images are sensitive to texture and lighting but often miss fine geometric anomalies. While 3D point clouds capture macro-shape, they are typically too sparse to detect micro-defects like scratches or pits. We address this fundamental data limitation by introducing Real-IAD-MVN (Multi-View Normal), a large-scale industrial dataset. By upgrading our acquisition system, Real-IAD-MVN captures high-fidelity surface normal maps from five distinct viewpoints, replacing sparse 3D data entirely. This provides a comprehensive geometric representation at a micro-detail level, making previously invisible side-wall and occluded defects explicitly detectable. Our experiments, conducted on this new dataset, first provide evidence that incorporating dense, multi-view pseudo-3D (surface normals) yields significantly better detection performance than using sparse 3D point cloud data. To further validate the dataset and provide a strong benchmark, we introduce a baseline method based on reconstruction, which learns to extract cross-modal unified prototypes from the image and normal map streams. We demonstrate that this unified prototype approach surpasses existing state-of-the-art multimodal fusion methods, highlighting the rich potential of our new dataset for advancing geometric anomaly detection.

Real-IAD Variety: Pushing Industrial Anomaly Detection Dataset to a Modern Era

Industrial Anomaly Detection (IAD) is a cornerstone for ensuring operational safety, maintaining product quality, and optimizing manufacturing efficiency. However, the advancement of IAD algorithms is severely hindered by the limitations of existing public benchmarks. Current datasets often suffer from restricted category diversity and insufficient scale, leading to performance saturation and poor model transferability in complex, real-world scenarios. To bridge this gap, we introduce Real-IAD Variety, the largest and most diverse IAD benchmark. It comprises 198,950 high-resolution images across 160 distinct object categories. The dataset ensures unprecedented diversity by covering 28 industries, 24 material types, 22 color variations, and 27 defect types. Our extensive experimental analysis highlights the substantial challenges posed by this benchmark: state-of-the-art multi-class unsupervised anomaly detection methods suffer significant performance degradation (ranging from 10% to 20%) when scaled from 30 to 160 categories. Conversely, we demonstrate that zero-shot and few-shot IAD models exhibit remarkable robustness to category scale-up, maintaining consistent performance and significantly enhancing generalization across diverse industrial contexts. This unprecedented scale positions Real-IAD Variety as an essential resource for training and evaluating next-generation foundation IAD models.

GraphTEN: Graph Enhanced Texture Encoding Network

Texture recognition is a fundamental problem in computer vision and pattern recognition. Recent progress leverages feature aggregation into discriminative descriptions based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, modeling non-local context relations through visual primitives remains challenging due to the variability and randomness of texture primitives in spatial distributions. In this paper, we propose a graph-enhanced texture encoding network (GraphTEN) designed to capture both local and global features of texture primitives. GraphTEN models global associations through fully connected graphs and captures cross-scale dependencies of texture primitives via bipartite graphs. Additionally, we introduce a patch encoding module that utilizes a codebook to achieve an orderless representation of texture by encoding multi-scale patch features into a unified feature space. The proposed GraphTEN achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods across five publicly available datasets.

Unified learning-based lossy and lossless JPEG recompression

JPEG is still the most widely used image compression algorithm. Most image compression algorithms only consider uncompressed original image, while ignoring a large number of already existing JPEG images. Recently, JPEG recompression approaches have been proposed to further reduce the size of JPEG files. However, those methods only consider JPEG lossless recompression, which is just a special case of the rate-distortion theorem. In this paper, we propose a unified lossly and lossless JPEG recompression framework, which consists of learned quantization table and Markovian hierarchical variational autoencoders. Experiments show that our method can achieve arbitrarily low distortion when the bitrate is close to the upper bound, namely the bitrate of the lossless compression model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first learned method that bridges the gap between lossy and lossless recompression of JPEG images.
