• Abstract: Object detection forms a key component in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for completing high-level tasks that depend on the awareness of objects on the ground from an aerial perspective. In that scenario, adversarial patch attacks on an onboard object detector can severely impair the performance of upstream tasks. This paper proposes a novel model-agnostic defense mechanism against the threat of adversarial patch attacks in the context of UAV-based object detection. We formulate adversarial patch defense as an occlusion removal task. The proposed defense method can neutralize adversarial patches located on objects of interest, without exposure to adversarial patches during training. Our lightweight single-stage defense approach allows us to maintain a model-agnostic nature, that once deployed does not require to be updated in response to changes in the object detection pipeline. The evaluations in digital and physical domains show the feasibility of our method for deployment in UAV object detection pipelines, by significantly decreasing the Attack Success Ratio without incurring significant processing costs. As a result, the proposed defense solution can improve the reliability of object detection for UAVs.

  Detector Collapse (DC) is a brand-new backdoor attack paradigm tailored for object detection. DC is designed to instantly incapacitate detectors (i.e., severely impairing detector's performance and culminating in a denial-of-service) We introduce a novel poisoning strategy exploiting natural objects, enabling DC to act as a practical backdoor in real-world environments.

  Patch-based physical attacks have increasingly aroused concerns. Most existing methods focus on obscuring targets captured on the ground, and some of these methods are simply extended to deceive aerial detectors. We propose Contextual Background Attack (CBA), a novel physical attack framework against aerial detection, which can achieve strong attack efficacy and transferability in the physical world even without smudging the interested objects at all.
