无需记忆库的多模态异常检测方法，融合图像与点云信息提升稳定性。

Unsupervised anomaly detection is a challenging computer vision task, in which 2D-based anomaly detection methods have been extensively studied. However, multimodal anomaly detection based on RGB images and 3D point clouds requires further investigation. The existing methods are mainly inspired by memory bank based methods commonly used in 2D-based anomaly detection, which may cost extra memory for storing mutimodal features. In present study, a novel memoryless method MDSS is proposed for multimodal anomaly detection, which employs a light-weighted student-teacher network and a signed distance function to learn from RGB images and 3D point clouds respectively, and complements the anomaly information from the two modalities. Specifically, a student-teacher network is trained with normal RGB images and masks generated from point clouds by a dynamic loss, and the anomaly score map could be obtained from the discrepancy between the output of student and teacher. Furthermore, the signed distance function learns from normal point clouds to predict the signed distances between points and surface, and the obtained signed distances are used to generate anomaly score map. Subsequently, the anomaly score maps are aligned to generate the final anomaly score map for detection. The experimental results indicate that MDSS is comparable but more stable than the SOTA memory bank based method Shape-guided, and furthermore performs better than other baseline methods.
