New method enhances adversarial attacks on semantic segmentation models

Researchers have developed IGME, an efficient method for generating transferable adversarial perturbations for semantic segmentation models. This approach uses a single source model to compose attack components, sharing gradient computations to reduce costs. IGME employs an integrated-gradient-style path-averaged direction to stabilize updates and demonstrates competitive transferability and runtime efficiency compared to existing methods on CNN- and transformer-based models.
