| # MVTec AD 2 — pointer card, not a data mirror |
|
|
| This is a **metadata/citation card only** — no dataset files are hosted here. MVTec AD 2 is |
| **registration-gated** and evaluated via MVTec's own private benchmark server |
| (benchmark.mvtec.com); re-hosting the test set would undermine that evaluation model, so it is |
| intentionally not mirrored. |
