# MVTec 3D-AD — pointer card, not a data mirror

Metadata/citation card only — no dataset files hosted here. Access requires filling a
registration form on MVTec's site (a manual browser step, not automatable), so this is a
pointer, not a mirror.

Anomaly Detection and Localization." VISAPP 2022.

Included as a scope item (3D/multi-view anomaly reference) for CoRe's Situational Control
paint-inspection work (`core-lab/situational-control`); not currently prioritized for the paint
pilots (Metalli Piiroinen conveyor, Dinolift) which are 2D-camera based.
