Anomaly Factory 3D: A Modular Framework for Diverse Pseudo-Anomaly Synthesis in Unsupervised 3D Anomaly Detection

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 effectivenes...
