• Abstract: Detecting and localizing defects in 3D point clouds is challenging because abnormal samples are scarce and diverse, while training is often limited to normal data. We propose Anomaly Factory 3D (AF3AD), a modular framework that synthesizes diverse pseudo-anomalies from normal point clouds to expand the training data for unsupervised 3D anomaly detection methods that rely on pseudo-anomalies. AF3AD uses a center-conditioned parametric deformation model defined in local PCA frames, with kernel-controlled spatial falloff, anisotropy, directional gating, and normal/tangential displacement fields, enabling a broad set of geometric defect presets. We demonstrate its ease-of-use and effectiveness by integrating AF3AD with an offset-prediction detector and a reconstruction-based anomaly detection method, showing that AF3AD transfers across detection paradigms. Experiments on AnomalyShapeNet and Real3D-AD show consistent improvements in object- and point-level detection and localization, supported by ablations on preset groups and robustness under noise. AF3AD is designed as a standalone synthesis tool to facilitate adoption across different 3D anomaly detection paradigms. Code is available at github.com/vpc-ccg/AF3AD.

• Reinforced Axial Refinement Network for Monocular 3D Object Detection [160.34246529816085]
  Monocular 3D object detection aims to extract the 3D position and properties of objects from a 2D input image. Conventional approaches sample 3D bounding boxes from the space and infer the relationship between the target object and each of them, however, the probability of effective samples is relatively small in the 3D space. We propose to start with an initial prediction and refine it gradually towards the ground truth, with only one 3d parameter changed in each step. This requires designing a policy which gets a reward after several steps, and thus we adopt reinforcement learning to optimize it.
