• Abstract summary: Anomaly segmentation is a valuable computer vision task for safety-critical applications that need to be aware of unexpected events. Current state-of-the-art anomaly segmentation approaches rely on diverse inlier class labels during training, limiting their ability to leverage vast unlabeled and pre-trained vision encoders. We introduce FlowCLAS, a novel self-supervised framework that utilizes vision foundation models to extract rich features and employs a normalizing flow network to learn their density distribution.

• Abstract: Anomaly segmentation is a valuable computer vision task for safety-critical applications that need to be aware of unexpected events. Current state-of-the-art (SOTA) scene-level anomaly segmentation approaches rely on diverse inlier class labels during training, limiting their ability to leverage vast unlabeled datasets and pre-trained vision encoders. These methods may underperform in domains with reduced color diversity and limited object classes. Conversely, existing unsupervised methods struggle with anomaly segmentation with the diverse scenes of less restricted domains. To address these challenges, we introduce FlowCLAS, a novel self-supervised framework that utilizes vision foundation models to extract rich features and employs a normalizing flow network to learn their density distribution. We enhance the model's discriminative power by incorporating Outlier Exposure and contrastive learning in the latent space. FlowCLAS significantly outperforms all existing methods on the ALLO anomaly segmentation benchmark for space robotics and demonstrates competitive results on multiple road anomaly segmentation benchmarks for autonomous driving, including Fishyscapes Lost&Found and Road Anomaly. These results highlight FlowCLAS's effectiveness in addressing the unique challenges of space anomaly segmentation while retaining SOTA performance in the autonomous driving domain without reliance on inlier segmentation labels.

  We propose Vision-Language (VL) encoders into existing anomaly detectors to leverage the semantically broad VL pre-training for improved outlier awareness. We also propose a new scoring function that enables data- and training-free outlier supervision via textual prompts.

  Anomaly segmentation plays a pivotal role in identifying atypical objects in images, crucial for hazard detection in autonomous driving systems.

We introduce the Multi-Granularity Cross-Domain Alignment framework, tailored to harmonize features across domains at both the scene and individual sample levels.
