Abstract

Studies of industrial visual inspection commonly report the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the overlap between anomaly maps and defect masks. Neither measure specifies the false-alarm rate at a selected threshold, while recurrent defect locations and mask geometry can inflate overlap. We combine a distribution-free upper tolerance threshold with a paired-minus-crossed spatial test. This test compares each detector's score-contributing locations with the matched defect mask and with masks from other images; the difference in rates defines spatial-evidence lift relative to the empirical chance-overlap rate. We evaluate three detectors on 120 point-defect images from three ISP-AD modalities and three fixed data splits. Of 378 alarms, 230 overlap the matched mask. Paired and crossed rates are nevertheless similar in eight of nine detector--modality cells; only DINOv2--ASM has a positive 95\% bootstrap lower bound (lift 0.259, 95\% interval 0.159--0.347). On the independent Magnetic Tile Defect dataset, the same analysis gives lifts of 0.203 (0.169--0.236) for Wide ResNet-50 (WRN50) patch memory and 0.231 (0.202--0.262) for Vision Transformer B/16 (ViT-B/16) patch memory, with one-sided permutation $p=10^{-5}$ for both. When crossed masks are restricted to the same defect class, the lifts remain 0.185 and 0.210. Exact sample planning shows that, with 150 calibration normals, a 95\%-confidence distribution-free claim is supported only for target false-positive rates of 1.98\% or higher; a 1\% target requires at least 299 normals. The results support reporting operating-point performance and chance-corrected spatial evidence alongside AUROC and raw mask overlap.

PanoSeg3R: Feed-Forward 3D Semantic Segmentation for Panoramic Images with an Automatic Data Curation Pipeline

We present PanoSeg3R, a feed-forward framework for 3D panoramic semantic segmentation. Unlike existing methods designed for perspective inputs, PanoSeg3R jointly predicts 3D geometry and multi-view semantic segmentation in one single forward pass. Built upon a pretrained reconstruction backbone that supports panoramic images, our approach extends feed-forward 3D reconstruction with a query-based mask decoder. Furthermore, we introduce an automatic panorama data curation pipeline that leverages the complementary strengths of off-the-shelf foundation models to generate reliable pseudo semantic annotations, substantially expanding the training data and improving zero-shot generalization. PanoSeg3R achieves state-of-the-art performance on panoramic 3D semantic segmentation, improving 3D mIoU by up to 16.02 on ScanNet++, while the curated training data further improves zero-shot performance by up to 4.26 and 43.28 mIoU on Stanford2D3D and ToF-360, respectively.

Vision2CAD: A Visual Agent Harness for Explicit Geometry Referencing and Localization in Parametric CAD Modeling

Generating parametric CAD models requires accurate geometry and stable feature dependencies. Existing methods face challenges in selecting geometric references, interpreting sketch-plane local coordinates, and establishing sketch constraints to projected external geometry. We present Vision2CAD, a visual agent harness that combines vision-language model (VLM) reasoning with deterministic CAD kernel operations. An ID-based interface supports explicit geometry selection, a local-coordinate bridge converts view coordinates into sketch coordinates, and projected-edge localization supports external sketch constraints. These mechanisms establish feature dependencies within the supported modeling operations and constraint types. We also introduce the Geometry Explicit Reference Dataset (GERD), which aligned commands, geometry states and IDs at every modeling step. On GERD-EVL and a DeepCAD test subset, Vision2CAD improves mIoU by 11.1\% and 5.6\% and reduces Chamfer distance by 17.3\% and 41.8\%, respectively. Parameter-editing experiments and ablation studies further proved the preservation of parametric dependencies.

DOA-SORT: Directional Occlusion-Aware Multi-Object Tracking with Distributional Observations

Identity association in multi-object tracking (MOT) is vulnerable to partial occlusion, truncated detections, and fluctuating confidence scores. Existing motion-dominant trackers commonly represent occlusion as a scalar penalty. This treatment misses the directional observation bias caused by occlusion: left, right, top, and bottom occlusions distort the location and shape of a detection in different ways. We propose \ours{} (Directional Occlusion-Aware SORT), an online and training-free tracker that models these biases explicitly. First, it infers a soft front--back ordering from box overlap and relative bottom positions, and estimates directional occlusion coverage and depth. It then constructs a mixture of one clean and four directional occlusion observation components. The model uses a five-dimensional observation comprising box center, area, confidence, and aspect ratio, and adapts observation noise to predicted occlusion and detection confidence. The directional mixture likelihood is used in high-confidence association, low-confidence association, and track recovery; ambiguity penalties and local order-consistency swaps further reduce identity errors among nearby objects. On the DanceTrack validation split, \ours{} improves HOTA from 63.00 to 66.34, AssA from 45.10 to 49.57, and IDF1 from 62.19 to 65.28 over OA-SORT with the same detector and evaluation protocol. The gains are concentrated in association quality while detection accuracy remains stable. Additional local evaluations on MOT17 and MOT20 train splits characterize cross-dataset behavior under the same no-ReID tracking protocol.
