IAD-Unify: Task-Specific Interfaces for Industrial Anomaly Understanding, Segmentation, and Generation
IAD-Unify proposes a dual-encoder unified model to simultaneously perform anomaly segmentation, region-grounded understanding, and mask-guided generation across 24 industrial categories. It achieves this by using a frozen region expert whose outputs are shared between the understanding and generation branches, proving that explicit region grounding is crucial for high accuracy in both tasks.
