ArXi:2605.05372v1 Announce Type: new Diffusion models are rapidly redefining 3D anomaly detection in point cloud data. As 3D sensing becomes integral to modern manufacturing, reliable anomaly detection is essential for high-throughput quality assurance and process control. Yet practical deployment on resource-constrained, latency-critical systems remains limited. Existing methods are often computationally prohibitive or unreliable in complex, unmasked regions, and diffusion pipelines are inherently bottlenecked by iterative denoising.
