ReMP-AD: Retrieval-Enhanced Multi-Modal Prompt Fusion for Few-Shot Industrial Visual Anomaly Detection

Industrial visual inspection is crucial for detecting defects in manufactured products, but it traditionally relies on human operators, leading to inefficiencies. Industrial Visual Anomaly Detection (IVAD) has emerged as a promising solution, with methods such as zero-shot, few-shot, and reconstruction-based techniques. However, zero-shot methods struggle with subtle anomalies, and reconstructionbased methods fail to capture fine-grained details. Few-shot methods, which use limited samples and prompts, offer a more efficient approach. Despite their promise, challenges remain in managing intra-class variation among references and in effectively extracting more representative anomaly features. This paper presents Retrieval-enhanced Multimodal Prompt Fusion Anomaly Detection (ReMP-AD), a framework that introduces Intra-Class Token Retrieval (ICTR) to reduce noise in the memory bank and Vision-Language Prior Fusion (VLPF) to guide the encoder in capturing more distinctive and relevant features of anomalies. Experiments on the VisA and MVTec-AD datasets demonstrate that ReMP-AD outperforms existing methods, achieving 97.8%/94.1% performance in 4-shot anomaly segmentation and classification. Our approach also shows strong results on the PCB-Bank dataset, highlighting its effectiveness in few-shot industrial anomaly detection. Code is available at https://github.com/cshcma/ReMP-AD.git
