New physical attack method targets optical flow estimation networks with infrared lights

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel method to physically attack Optical Flow Estimation Networks (OFENs) in real-time using infrared lights. This approach generates numerous adversarial examples in advance and displays them dynamically, enabling precise and targeted attacks without altering the victim system. The technique has demonstrated effectiveness across various lighting conditions, object velocities, and placements, significantly impairing the networks' optical flow estimation capabilities. AI

IMPACT This research highlights a new vulnerability in AI systems used for critical applications like autonomous driving, necessitating advancements in adversarial robustness.
