AdvART: Adversarial Art for Camouflaged Object Detection Attacks
share
A majority of existing physical attacks in the real world result in conspicuous and eye-catching patterns for generated patches, which made them identifiable/detectable by humans. To overcome this limitation, recent work has proposed several approaches that aim at generating naturalistic patches using generative adversarial networks (GANs), which may not catch human's attention. However, these approaches are computationally intensive and do not always converge to natural looking patterns. In this paper, we propose a novel lightweight framework that systematically generates naturalistic adversarial patches without using GANs. To illustrate the proposed approach, we generate adversarial art (AdvART), which are patches generated to look like artistic paintings while maintaining high attack efficiency. In fact, we redefine the optimization problem by introducing a new similarity objective. Specifically, we leverage similarity metrics to construct a similarity loss that is added to the optimized objective function. This component guides the patch to follow a predefined artistic patterns while maximizing the victim model's loss function. Our patch achieves high success rates with 12.53% mean average precision (mAP) on YOLOv4tiny for INRIA dataset.
