LiDAR 3D object detection models vulnerable to adversarial attacks

A new research paper published on arXiv analyzes the adversarial robustness of LiDAR-based 3D object detection models used in autonomous driving. The study introduces a comprehensive framework that evaluates models based on structural factors like point cloud density and localization, as well as predictive factors such as misclassification and localization error. Findings indicate that high-capacity, voxel-based detectors are more vulnerable to specific adversarial attacks than pillar-based detectors, and non-anchor-based detectors show poor robustness, suggesting a need for improved training techniques and evaluation benchmarks.
