Wavelet-Driven 3D Anomaly Detection under Pose-Agnostic and Sparse-View

Pose-agnostic anomaly detection (PAD) achieves strong performance in localizing anomalies from arbitrary viewpoints when trained on densely sampled normal data. However, under sparse-view conditions, existing methods face two key challenges: (1) sparse observations lead to overfitting and geometric detail loss in 3D reconstruction; (2) limited visual cues lead to inaccurate pose estimation, compromising the reliability of subsequent anomaly localization. To address these challenges, we propose Wave-Pose3D, a wavelet-driven 3D anomaly detection framework tailored for PAD under sparse-view conditions. First, we design a structure-aware and wavelet-optimized Gaussian modeling strategy that dynamically filters unreliable regions via structural priors to mitigate overfitting and leverages highfrequency supervision to restore fine-grained geometric details. Second, to improve pose estimation under sparse views, we develop a wavelet-based pose estimator that integrates low-frequency structural cues and high-frequency details to enhance both initialization and refinement accuracy. Finally, we introduce a wavelet difference-aware anomaly detector that computes frequency-domain anomaly scores, improving localization robustness against pose and geometric variations. By integrating these strategies, Wave-Pose3D achieves robust and accurate anomaly localization under sparse views. Extensive experiments validate that the proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performance under 10% and 20% sparse-view configurations.
