Physical Adversarial Clothing Evades Visible-Thermal Detectors via Non-Overlapping RGB-T Pattern

Researchers have developed a novel method for physical adversarial attacks against visible-thermal (RGB-T) object detectors, commonly used in applications like autonomous driving. The approach utilizes specially designed clothing with a non-overlapping RGB-T pattern (NORP) that evades detection in both digital and physical environments. This NORP design, optimized using a spatial discrete-continuous optimization (SDCO) method, aims to improve attack success rates across various fusion architectures. AI

IMPACT This research highlights potential security vulnerabilities in multimodal AI systems, particularly those used in safety-critical applications like autonomous driving.
