Key Points
- The paper introduces a hierarchical point–patch fusion network for 3D shape anomaly detection that combines regional part-level features with local point-level features to improve anomaly reasoning.
- It adds an adaptive patchification module using self-supervised decomposition to better capture structural deviations across different anomaly types and scales.
- The method is designed to address limitations of prior approaches, including poor generalization to global geometric errors and sensitivity to noisy or incomplete point samples during training.
- Results on Anomaly-ShapeNet and Real3D-AD show improved AUC-ROC/AUC-PR performance, with reported point-level gains over 40% on a newly characterized industrial anomaly type.
- The authors also release an industrial test set containing real CAD models with planar, angular, and structural defects to support more realistic evaluation.
