SPARC: Subspace Position-Aware Robust Few-Shot Calibration for Distribution-Shifted Industrial Anomaly Detection

SPARC is a few‑shot calibration technique for vision‑based industrial anomaly detectors that corrects deployment‑time nuisances by projecting patch features onto a per‑cell subspace, requiring only up to eight verified‑normal images and no gradient updates. It operates between the encoder and detector, using a closed‑form, spatially indexed estimate based on the encoder’s native patch grid. Across seven detectors on shift‑prone benchmarks, SPARC boosts pooled Image AUROC by 13.8 pp and AU‑PRO₀.₃ by 3.5 pp, while showing modest changes on benchmarks without engineered shift.
