New FSPGD method enhances black-box attacks on semantic segmentation

Researchers have developed a new method called Feature Similarity Projected Gradient Descent (FSPGD) to improve black-box adversarial attacks on semantic segmentation models. This technique operates in the feature space, disrupting intermediate representations rather than just output logits, which is crucial for dense prediction tasks. Experiments on standard datasets like Pascal VOC 2012 and Cityscapes demonstrate that FSPGD achieves superior transferability compared to existing methods and enhances model robustness when used for adversarial training. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust semantic segmentation models by improving adversarial attack techniques and defenses.

    FSPGD: Rethinking Black-box Attacks on Semantic Segmentation

    arXiv:2502.01262v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Black-box adversarial attacks on semantic segmentation remain a challenging problem, particularly in the black-box transfer attack setting where perturbations crafted on a surrogate model are expected to mislead unseen target mo…
