Researchers from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University introduce IMDD-1M, the first million-scale industrial defect dataset with multimodal image-text pairs, and develop a diffusion-based vision-language foundation model trained on it. This model achieves open-vocabulary defect understanding, generation, and efficient adaptation to discriminative tasks like classification, detection, and segmentation, often requiring less than 5% of the data compared to supervised methods.
Key insights
- Large-scale, expert-verified multimodal datasets are foundational for developing generalizable, open-vocabulary industrial defect understanding models.
- Diffusion-based architectures can effectively serve as unified foundation models for industrial defects, supporting both realistic defect generation and precise discriminative tasks.
- Pre-training on domain-specific industrial data yields substantially higher sample efficiency for fine-tuning on downstream tasks compared to general image pre-training or random initialization.
