Semantic segmentation of hyperspectral images (HSI) has seen great strides in recent years by incorporating knowledge from deep learning RGB classification models. Similar to their classification counterparts, semantic segmentation models are vulnerable to adversarial examples and need adversarial training to counteract them. Traditional approaches to adversarial robustness focus on training or retraining a single network on attacked data, however, in the presence of multiple attacks these approaches decrease the performance compared to networks trained individually on each attack. To combat this issue we propose an Adversarial Discriminator Ensemble Network (ADE-Net) which focuses on attack type detection and adversarial robustness under a unified model to preserve per data-type weight optimally while robustifiying the overall network. In the proposed method, a discriminator network is used to separate data by attack type into their specific attack-expert ensemble network. Our approach allows for the presence of multiple attacks mixed together while also labeling attack types during testing. We experimentally show that ADE-Net outperforms the baseline, which is a single network adversarially trained under a mix of multiple attacks, for HSI Indian Pines, Kennedy Space, and Houston datasets.
