Digital-to-Physical Transfer of Adversarial Patches for Aerial Vehicle Detection
Researchers have developed a method to create physical adversarial patches that can fool deep neural network-based aerial vehicle detectors. These patches are optimized digitally with constraints for printability and smoothness, then printed and tested in real-world conditions. While digital optimization showed high effectiveness for one patch configuration, another proved more robust in physical environments, highlighting practical security vulnerabilities in aerial detection systems.
