Global Logic and Local Search: Dual-Stream Multimodal In-Context Learning for Verifiable Industrial Anomaly Detection
About
Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) show strong few-shot generalization, but industrial anomaly detection remains difficult because defects are small, input resolution is limited, and textual standards are not always grounded in visual evidence. Recent optimization-based methods improve alignment through fine-tuning, but they often require many defective samples, which are unavailable in early deployment. We present Global Logic and Local Search (GLLS), a training-free framework for reference-guided multimodal in-context verification. GLLS uses a Part-Aware Visual-Logical Atlas to organize normal references and structured specifications in the inference context. It combines a Global & Logic Stream, where SAM 3 extracts partially checkable visual facts, with a Fine-Grained & Actions Stream, where MCTS selects local evidence crops under a fixed budget. Experiments on MMAD-QA and additional anomaly detection datasets show consistent gains over matched and general-purpose baselines, while keeping the final diagnostic decision traceable to explicit visual evidence throughout the inspection trace.
