GRC-Net: Global Representation Consistency Network for Unsupervised Multimodal Anomaly Detection

Few-shot anomaly detection remains challenging due to limited training data. Multi-modal anomaly detection (MAD) offers a viable solution, leveraging 3D geometric cues to enrich 2D RGB representations and compensate for this scarcity. However, existing MAD methods apply spatially uniform feature processing, conflating stable macroscopic structures with high-frequency localized defect signals, exacerbating cross-modal misalignment and inflating false-positive rates. To overcome this, we present CMDS-AD, a Cross-Modal Dual-Stream Anomaly Detection framework. A LoRA-guided diffusion model generates diverse RGB samples to mitigate extreme data scarcity. For 3D normal augmentation, we employ a pre-trained diffusion model as a normal estimator. Crucially, this estimator inherently acts as a non-linear low-pass filter, directly extracting low-frequency normal representations from RGB inputs. This establishes an auxiliary estimated stream of purely low-frequency information, anchoring robust structural templates and assisting the uncompressed real stream, containing coupled high- and low-frequency components, to precisely isolate micro-defects. A Coordinate-Aware Hierarchical Feature Mapper adaptively aligns cross-modal semantics, while a multiplicative scoring mechanism filters modality-specific noise. Under the extreme 1-shot setting, CMDS-AD achieves absolute performance gains of 5.7% (I-AUROC) and 2.0% (AUPRO) on MVTec 3D-AD, alongside 7.7% and 5.6% improvements on EyeCandies, establishing a new state-of-the-art.

Multimodal anomaly detection benefits from complementary RGB and 3D evidence, yet auxiliary RGB reconstruction is not equally reliable across product categories and class-wise test-time policy selection is usually unavailable. We propose TC-MAF, a base-anchored multi-evidence fusion design that combines a multimodal detector, complementary Dinomaly evidence, and a small cross-modal consistency cue under one fixed pixel-level fusion formula. A lightweight training-dispersion confidence (TDC) term scales auxiliary participation using only normal training statistics. On MVTec-3D, TC-MAF reaches 0.979 image-level AUROC and 0.990 pixel-level AUPRO, achieving the best mean results on both detection and localization among the compared multimodal methods. Systematic ablations show that the fusion structure itself is the dominant factor, while TDC provides a smaller but reproducible calibration gain over no calibration or arbitrary calibration. Additional experiments show that the same design remains effective under a pooled-statistics variant, auxiliary-branch and backbone substitutions, few-shot settings, a missing-3D setting, and cross-dataset evaluation on Eyecandies.

Zero-shot 3D anomaly detection is essential for industrial quality inspection, where labeled anomaly samples are scarce. Meanwhile, existing methods lack an effective mechanism to fuse complementary 2D color images with 3D geometric structures, limiting their ability to detect both surface and structural defects in a unified framework. To address these issues, we propose CoGeoAD, a unified CLIP-based framework that fuses color and geometric features by constructing pixel-aligned paired multi-view images. The framework introduces a Data-Driven Multi-View Attention (MVA) mechanism to adaptively aggregate 3D features and a Multi-Stage Color-Geometric Fusion (MS-CGF) module to hierarchically integrate multi-level features from both modalities. Extensive experiments on the MVTec3D-AD and Eyecandies benchmarks demonstrate that CoGeoAD achieves state-of-the-art performance, effectively capturing both structural and textural anomalies in complex industrial scenarios. our source code is available at https://github.com/kingdomShu/CoGeoAD.
