PADFormer uses Vision Transformer for pose-agnostic anomaly detection

Researchers have introduced PADFormer, a new approach for detecting anomalies in images that can handle significant pose variations without relying on complex 3D reconstruction. This method utilizes a Vision Transformer (ViT) to directly reconstruct anomaly-free versions of images while preserving pose information. PADFormer trains exclusively on normal data and employs dynamic patch selection and spatial alignment to learn from sparse reference views, achieving state-of-the-art results on anomaly detection benchmarks.
