Fast localization of anomalous patches in spatial data under dependence

We propose a scalable, provably accurate method for localizing an unknown number of multiple axis-aligned anomalous patches in spatial data under a general class of spatial dependence. Motivated by the practical need to detect localized changes rather than completely segment large spatial grids, we first introduce both a naive and a significantly faster intelligent-sampling-based estimator for a single patch. We then extend this methodology to the highly challenging multiple-patch setting and pr
