Higher-Order Adversarial Patches for Real-Time Object Detectors

Higher-order adversarial attacks can directly be considered the result of a cat-and-mouse game -- an elaborate action involving constant pursuit, near captures, and repeated escapes. This idiom describes the enduring circular training of adversarial attack patterns and adversarial training the best. The following work investigates the impact of higher-order adversarial attacks on object detectors by successively training attack patterns and hardening object detectors with adversarial training. The YOLOv10 object detector is chosen as a representative, and adversarial patches are used in an evasion attack manner. Our results indicate that higher-order adversarial patches are not only affecting the object detector directly trained on but rather provide a stronger generalization capacity compared to lower-order adversarial patches. Moreover, the results highlight that solely adversarial training is not sufficient to harden an object detector efficiently against this kind of adversarial attack.

SuperADD: Training-free Class-agnostic Anomaly Segmentation -- CVPR 2026 VAND 4.0 Workshop Challenge Industrial Track

Visual anomaly detection (AD) for industrial inspection is a highly relevant task in modern production environments. The problem becomes particularly challenging when training and deployment data differ due to changes in acquisition conditions during production. In the VAND 4.0 Industrial Track, models must remain robust under distribution shifts such as varying illumination and their performance is assessed on the MVTec AD 2 dataset. To address this setting, we propose a training-free and class-agnostic anomaly detection pipeline based on the work of SuperAD. Our approach improves generalization through several modifications designed to enhance robustness under distribution shifts. These adaptations include using a DINOv3 backbone, overlapping patch-wise processing, intensity-based augmentations, improved memory-bank subsampling for better coverage of the data distribution, and iterative morphological closing for cleaner and more spatially consistent anomaly maps. Unlike methods that rely on class-specific architectures or per-class hyperparameter tuning, our method uses a single architecture and one shared hyperparameter configuration across all object classes. This makes the approach well suited for industrial deployment, where product variants and appearance changes must be handled with minimal adaptation effort. We achieve segmentation F1 scores of $62.61\%$, $57.42\%$, and $54.35\%$ on test public, private, and private mixed of MVTec AD 2 respectively, thereby outperforming SuperAD and other state-of-the-art methods. Code is available at https://github.com/LukasRoom/SuperADD.

MotorFactory: A Blender Add-on for Large Dataset Generation of Small Electric Motors

To enable automatic disassembly of different product types with uncertain conditions and degrees of wear in remanufacturing, agile production systems that can adapt dynamically to changing requirements are needed. Machine learning algorithms can be employed due to their generalization capabilities of learning from various types and variants of products. However, in reality, datasets with a diversity of samples that can be used to train models are difficult to obtain in the initial period. This may cause bad performances when the system tries to adapt to new unseen input data in the future. In order to generate large datasets for different learning purposes, in our project, we present a Blender add-on named MotorFactory to generate customized mesh models of various motor instances. MotorFactory allows to create mesh models which, complemented with additional add-ons, can be further used to create synthetic RGB images, depth images, normal images, segmentation ground truth masks, and 3D point cloud datasets with point-wise semantic labels. The created synthetic datasets may be used for various tasks including motor type classification, object detection for decentralized material transfer tasks, part segmentation for disassembly and handling tasks, or even reinforcement learning-based robotics control or view-planning.

Object Detection in 3D Point Clouds via Local Correlation-Aware Point Embedding

We present an improved approach for 3D object detection in point cloud data based on the Frustum PointNet (F-PointNet). Compared to the original F-PointNet, our newly proposed method considers the point neighborhood when computing point features. The newly introduced local neighborhood embedding operation mimics the convolutional operations in 2D neural networks. Thus features of each point are not only computed with the features of its own or of the whole point cloud but also computed especially with respect to the features of its neighbors. Experiments show that our proposed method achieves better performance than the F-Pointnet baseline on 3D object detection tasks.

Sim2real Transfer Learning for Point Cloud Segmentation: An Industrial Application Case on Autonomous Disassembly

On robotics computer vision tasks, generating and annotating large amounts of data from real-world for the use of deep learning-based approaches is often difficult or even impossible. A common strategy for solving this problem is to apply simulation-to-reality (sim2real) approaches with the help of simulated scenes. While the majority of current robotics vision sim2real work focuses on image data, we present an industrial application case that uses sim2real transfer learning for point cloud data. We provide insights on how to generate and process synthetic point cloud data in order to achieve better performance when the learned model is transferred to real-world data. The issue of imbalanced learning is investigated using multiple strategies. A novel patch-based attention network is proposed additionally to tackle this problem.

SynMotor: A Benchmark Suite for Object Attribute Regression and Multi-task Learning

In this paper, we develop a novel benchmark suite including both a 2D synthetic image dataset and a 3D synthetic point cloud dataset. Our work is a sub-task in the framework of a remanufacturing project, in which small electric motors are used as fundamental objects. Apart from the given detection, classification, and segmentation annotations, the key objects also have multiple learnable attributes with ground truth provided. This benchmark can be used for computer vision tasks including 2D/3D detection, classification, segmentation, and multi-attribute learning. It is worth mentioning that most attributes of the motors are quantified as continuously variable rather than binary, which makes our benchmark well-suited for the less explored regression tasks. In addition, appropriate evaluation metrics are adopted or developed for each task and promising baseline results are provided. We hope this benchmark can stimulate more research efforts on the sub-domain of object attribute learning and multi-task learning in the future.

Deep Sensor Fusion with Pyramid Fusion Networks for 3D Semantic Segmentation

Robust environment perception for autonomous vehicles is a tremendous challenge, which makes a diverse sensor set with e.g. camera, lidar and radar crucial. In the process of understanding the recorded sensor data, 3D semantic segmentation plays an important role. Therefore, this work presents a pyramid-based deep fusion architecture for lidar and camera to improve 3D semantic segmentation of traffic scenes. Individual sensor backbones extract feature maps of camera images and lidar point clouds. A novel Pyramid Fusion Backbone fuses these feature maps at different scales and combines the multimodal features in a feature pyramid to compute valuable multimodal, multi-scale features. The Pyramid Fusion Head aggregates these pyramid features and further refines them in a late fusion step, incorporating the final features of the sensor backbones. The approach is evaluated on two challenging outdoor datasets and different fusion strategies and setups are investigated. It outperforms recent range view based lidar approaches as well as all so far proposed fusion strategies and architectures.

Deflectometry for specular surfaces: an overview

Deflectometry as a technical approach to assessing reflective surfaces has now existed for almost 40 years. Different aspects and variations of the method have been studied in multiple theses and research articles, and reviews are also becoming available for certain subtopics. Still a field of active development with many unsolved problems, deflectometry now encompasses a large variety of application domains, hardware setup types, and processing workflows designed for different purposes, and spans a range from qualitative defect inspection of large vehicles to precision measurements of microscopic optics. Over these years, many exciting developments have accumulated in the underlying theory, in the systems design, and in the implementation specifics. This diversity of topics is difficult to grasp for experts and non-experts alike and may present an obstacle to a wider acceptance of deflectometry as a useful tool in other research fields and in the industry. This paper presents an attempt to summarize the status of deflectometry, and to map relations between its notable "spin-off" branches. The intention of the paper is to provide a common communication basis for practitioners and at the same time to offer a convenient entry point for those interested in learning and using the method. The list of references is extensive but definitely not exhaustive, introducing some prominent trends and established research groups in order to facilitate further self-directed exploration by the reader.
