Zero-shot 3D anomaly detection via online voter mechanism

3D anomaly detection aims to solve the problem that image anomaly detection is greatly affected by lighting conditions. As commercial confidentiality and personal privacy become increasingly paramount, access to training samples is often restricted. To address these challenges, we propose a zero-shot 3D anomaly detection method. Unlike previous CLIP-based methods, the proposed method does not require any prompt and is capable of detecting anomalies on the depth modality. Furthermore, we also propose a pre-trained structural rerouting strategy, which modifies the transformer without retraining or fine-tuning for the anomaly detection task. Most importantly, this paper proposes an online voter mechanism that registers voters and performs majority voter scoring in a one-stage, zero-start and growth-oriented manner, enabling direct anomaly detection on unlabeled test sets. Finally, we also propose a confirmatory judge credibility assessment mechanism, which provides an efficient adaptation for possible few-shot conditions. Results on datasets such as MVTec3D-AD demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve superior zero-shot 3D anomaly detection performance, indicating its pioneering contributions within the pertinent domain.
