Abstract

Logical anomaly detection requires recognizing scene components and measuring whether their configuration satisfies task constraints. Correct identities can coexist with inaccurate geometry; clean mask fragments can yield misleading lengths. We propose Semantic-Geometric Decoupling and Evidence Binding (SGDB). A semantic decoder learns object identities from component-annotated normal sources and factual edits; a separate reader supplies final measurements. Partial one-to-one association binds geometric witnesses to identities while retaining unmatched objects in the count. A support-certified reader selects mask-derived axes using line quality and complete component ownership. Explicit task requirements and normal-data references define executable checks, with decision thresholds fixed by independent normal calibration. Execution-grounded explanation traces rule contributions to source objects and measurements, extracting compact sufficient alarm certificates. A frozen language model expresses selected outcomes as cited claims, with numeric evidence retained by the executor. Reports preserve observed deviations and unavailable evidence. SGDB achieves 98.19% AUROC and 94.52% fixed-threshold F1 on five MVTec LOCO logical categories, and 93.56% AUROC and 92.76% F1 across all 50 VID-AD tasks. Frozen-output controls evaluate geometric readout and explanatory sufficiency and compactness.

LogiCo: A Unified Framework for Logical and Structural Anomaly Detection

Current anomaly detection methods primarily focus on structural anomalies, while paying insufficient attention to anomalies that violate logical constraints. Conversely, top-performing logical anomaly detection approaches address this by modeling global semantic consistency, but perform poorly on subtle structural anomalies due to inadequate detection granularity. In this paper, we propose LogiCo, a unified framework for Logical and structural anomaly detection via Component-level feature reconstruction. Unlike existing methods that rely on explicit global semantic modeling, LogiCo employs a novel component-level feature reconstruction technique to capture inter-component logical constraints. Specifically, LogiCo maps pre-trained image features into a discrete component-level feature space and performs collaborative feature reconstruction at both component and patch levels, enabling it to effectively detect both logical and structural anomalies. Furthermore, to address the specific challenge of count-related logical anomalies, we integrate a segmentation-map discriminator that extends the model's capability to identify quantitative inconsistencies. LogiCo achieves state-of-the-art performance on both logical and structural anomaly detection across four benchmarks, including MVTec-LOCO, MVTec-AD, VisA, and Real-IAD, demonstrating its superiority and practical feasibility.

Beyond Geometry: Benchmarking and Consistency Reasoning for 3D Logical Anomaly Detection

Existing 3D industrial anomaly detection mainly targets local geometric deviations. In contrast, many industrial anomalies violate object-level design or assembly rules, which we define as 3D logical anomalies. To address these challenges, we introduce the Industrial Logical Anomaly Detection Dataset (ILGAD), the first scalable benchmark dedicated to logical anomalies in industrial point clouds. ILGAD contains 2,774 samples from 15 categories with point-level annotations and covers existence, specification, pose, and assembly-state errors. To detect such 3D logical anomalies, we propose a consistency reasoning framework that assesses whether local geometry, structure coverage, and spatial relations conform to the normal design. The framework detects geometric changes, unsupported expected structures, and abnormal local arrangements. Experiments on ILGAD, Anomaly-ShapeNet, and IEC3D demonstrate superior object-level detection and point-level localization, showing that the framework effectively detects logical anomalies and generalizes to conventional geometric defects.

Robust Logical Anomaly Detection under Capture Shifts via Synthetic Anomalies

Detectors of logical anomalies, such as missing, extra or wrongly combined parts, usually score a test image by its distance from normal (good) images. They achieve near-perfect image-level AUROC on standard industrial anomaly detection benchmarks such as MVTec LOCO, but their robustness to changes in capture conditions remains largely unexamined. Under a heterogeneous perturbation protocol in which each test image is randomly kept unaltered or subjected to a brightness reduction or a zoom-out transformation, the normal-reference methods we tested lose 9.7 to 34.1 AUROC points, and two of the strongest, CSAD and SALAD, fall from 97.7% and 96.4% to 68.1% and 62.3%. We propose a framework in which a classifier, trained on normal images and on synthetic anomalies, scores a test image without comparing it with normal data. From a short description of each product, a language model derives anomaly types and editing instructions, an image editor applies them to normal images, and the classifier learns to separate the edited images from automatically discovered normal sub-modes. With its full training recipe, the framework reaches 94.9% AUROC on clean images, 1.5 to 2.8 points below SALAD and CSAD, and 94.1% under the perturbation protocol. Trained without brightness or zoom-out augmentation, so that neither test perturbation occurs in training, it still reaches 92.5% (93.2% clean). These results suggest that clean benchmark scores can hide a strong sensitivity to capture conditions, and that learning the decision from both normal images and rule violations may reduce it.
