ReplayCAD introduces a diffusion-driven generative replay framework for continual anomaly detection, which mitigates catastrophic forgetting by generating high-quality historical data with preserved pixel-level details. The method achieves an 11.5% improvement in Pixel-AP on the VisA dataset and an 8.1% improvement on MVTec compared to existing state-of-the-art approaches, demonstrating enhanced anomaly segmentation.

Key insights

  • Preserving pixel-level details through high-fidelity generative replay is essential for accurate anomaly segmentation in continual learning scenarios.
  • The combination of both semantic-aware and spatially-enhanced guidance is critical for generating diverse and high-quality synthetic data for historical classes.
  • Utilizing a pre-trained Latent Diffusion Model (LDM) for conditional feature-guided generation offers an efficient mechanism for data replay, minimizing computational overhead.
