Training-Free Defect Image Generation with Multi-Domain Consistency and Geometric-Semantic Constraints for Industrial Visual Sensing Inspection.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Industrial defect generation has long been challenged by the scarcity of real anomaly samples and the imbalance of defect categories, particularly in complex industrial scenarios involving transparent containers. Taking vials as an example, glass reflection, specular highlights, and fine-grained defects make continuous defect acquisition difficult, thereby making the realism and controllability of augmented samples critical to downstream detection performance. Although existing diffusion-based generation methods can improve synthetic image quality, they often require additional training or lightweight fine-tuning, which limits their efficiency in sample-limited industrial scenarios. To address this issue, this paper builds upon the TF-IDG framework and proposes a training-free industrial defect generation method based on multi-domain consistency and geometric-semantic constraints. To alleviate the unnatural texture details, boundary transitions, and background blending commonly observed in generated defects, a multi-domain consistency constraint is introduced to enhance generation realism from both frequency-domain structures and cross-domain contextual representations, thereby improving anomaly texture expression and overall visual coherence. To further mitigate unstable defect contours, spatial deviation, and structural mismatch with target objects, a geometric-semantic constraint is designed to regulate the generation process through elastic shape constraints and semantic region-anchored attention, enhancing the rationality of defect morphology evolution and spatial localization. Experimental results on both the MVTec AD dataset and a self-built vial defect dataset demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms comparative approaches. Specifically, when YOLOv11 is used as the downstream detector, the mAP@50 on the MVTec AD dataset and the self-built vial defect dataset is improved from 88.5% and 98.0% for the TF-IDG baseline to 89.6% and 98.8%, respectively.
