Researchers have developed the REVIVE framework to address vandalism-induced occlusion attacks (VOAs) on autonomous vehicles (AVs). REVIVE integrates detection, pattern identification, segmentation using an EfficientNet-based U-Net, and type-aware recovery methods. The framework employs techniques like BLIP-guided Stable Diffusion inpainting, direct pixel replacement, and adaptive median filtering to restore camera-stream utility after physical occlusion. Evaluations show that direct pixel replacement can significantly restore object-detection recall and F1-score, outperforming other baselines and ensuring the forwarded stream is never worse than the unrecovered frame.
