Learning Topology-Aware Representations via Test-Time Adaptation for Anomaly Segmentation

Test-time adaptation (TTA) has emerged as a promising paradigm for mitigating distribution shifts in deep models. However, existing TTA approaches for anomaly segmentation remain limited by their reliance on pixel-level heuristics, such as confidence thresholding or entropy minimisation, which fail to preserve structural consistency under noise and texture variation. Moreover, they typically treat anomaly maps as flat intensity fields, ignoring the higher-order spatial relationships that characterise complex defect geometries. We introduce TopoTTA (Topological Test-Time Adaptation), a novel framework that integrates persistent homology, a tool from topological data analysis, into the TTA pipeline to enforce geometric and structural coherence during adaptation. By applying multi-level cubical complex filtration to anomaly score maps, TopoTTA derives robust topological pseudo-labels that guide a lightweight test-time classifier, enhancing segmentation quality without retraining the backbone model. The approach avoids reliance on method-specific raw-score thresholding for mask binarisation, preserves connectivity, and generalises across both 2D and 3D modalities. Extensive experiments across six standard benchmarks (MVTec AD, VisA, Real-IAD, MVTec 3D-AD, AnomalyShapeNet, and MVTec LOCO) demonstrate an average 15% F1 improvement over state-of-the-art unsupervised anomaly detection and segmentation methods, with the largest gains on anomalies exhibiting complex geometric or structural variations. These findings suggest that integrating topological reasoning into test-time adaptation provides a principled route to structure-aware generalisation, bridging the gap between geometric learning and robust adaptation.

Test-Time Adaptation for Anomaly Segmentation via Topology-Aware Optimal Transport Chaining

Deep topological data analysis (TDA) offers a principled framework for capturing structural invariants such as connectivity and cycles that persist across scales, making it a natural fit for anomaly segmentation (AS). Unlike thresholdbased binarisation, which produces brittle masks under distribution shift, TDA allows anomalies to be characterised as disruptions to global structure rather than local fluctuations. We introduce TopoOT, a topology-aware optimal transport (OT) framework that integrates multi-filtration persistence diagrams (PDs) with test-time adaptation (TTA). Our key innovation is Optimal Transport Chaining, which sequentially aligns PDs across thresholds and filtrations, yielding geodesic stability scores that identify features consistently preserved across scales. These stabilityaware pseudo-labels supervise a lightweight head trained online with OT-consistency and contrastive objectives, ensuring robust adaptation under domain shift. Across standard 2D and 3D anomaly detection benchmarks, TopoOT achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming the most competitive methods by up to +24.1% mean F1 on 2D datasets and +10.2% on 3D AS benchmarks.

2D_3D Feature Fusion via Cross-Modal Latent Synthesis and Attention Guided Restoration for Industrial Anomaly Detection

Industrial anomaly detection (IAD) increasingly benefits from integrating 2D and 3D data, but robust cross-modal fusion remains challenging. We propose a novel unsupervised framework, Multi-Modal Attention-Driven Fusion Restoration (MAFR), which synthesises a unified latent space from RGB images and point clouds using a shared fusion encoder, followed by attention-guided, modality-specific decoders. Anomalies are localised by measuring reconstruction errors between input features and their restored counterparts. Evaluations on the MVTec 3D-AD and Eyecandies benchmarks demonstrate that MAFR achieves state-of-the-art results, with a mean I-AUROC of 0.972 and 0.901, respectively. The framework also exhibits strong performance in few-shot learning settings, and ablation studies confirm the critical roles of the fusion architecture and composite loss. MAFR offers a principled approach for fusing visual and geometric information, advancing the robustness and accuracy of industrial anomaly detection.

Hypergraph Contrastive Sensor Fusion for Multimodal Fault Diagnosis in Induction Motors

Reliable induction motor (IM) fault diagnosis is vital for industrial safety and operational continuity, mitigating costly unplanned downtime. Conventional approaches often struggle to capture complex multimodal signal relationships, are constrained to unimodal data or single fault types, and exhibit performance degradation under noisy or cross-domain conditions. This paper proposes the Multimodal Hypergraph Contrastive Attention Network (MM-HCAN), a unified framework for robust fault diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, MM-HCAN is the first to integrate contrastive learning within a hypergraph topology specifically designed for multimodal sensor fusion, enabling the joint modelling of intra- and inter-modal dependencies and enhancing generalisation beyond Euclidean embedding spaces. The model facilitates simultaneous diagnosis of bearing, stator, and rotor faults, addressing the engineering need for consolidated di- agnostic capabilities. Evaluated on three real-world benchmarks, MM-HCAN achieves up to 99.82% accuracy with strong cross-domain generalisation and resilience to noise, demonstrating its suitability for real-world deployment. An ablation study validates the contribution of each component. MM-HCAN provides a scalable and robust solution for comprehensive multi-fault diagnosis, supporting predictive maintenance and extended asset longevity in industrial environments.

An Improved Fault Diagnosis Strategy for Induction Motors Using Weighted Probability Ensemble Deep Learning

Early detection of faults in induction motors is crucial for ensuring uninterrupted operations in industrial settings. Among the various fault types encountered in induction motors, bearing, rotor, and stator faults are the most prevalent. This paper introduces a Weighted Probability Ensemble Deep Learning (WPEDL) methodology, tailored for effectively diagnosing induction motor faults using high-dimensional data extracted from vibration and current features. The Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is employed to extract features from both vibration and current signals. The performance of the WPEDL fault diagnosis method is compared against conventional deep learning models, demonstrating the superior efficacy of the proposed system. The multi-class fault diagnosis system based on WPEDL achieves high accuracies across different fault types: 99.05% for bearing (vibrational signal), 99.10%, and 99.50% for rotor (current and vibration signal), and 99.60%, and 99.52% for stator faults (current and vibration signal) respectively. To evaluate the robustness of our multi-class classification decisions, tests have been conducted on a combined dataset of 52,000 STFT images encompassing all three faults. Our proposed model outperforms other models, achieving an accuracy of 98.89%. The findings underscore the effectiveness and reliability of the WPEDL approach for early-stage fault diagnosis in IMs, offering promising insights for enhancing industrial operational efficiency and reliability.
