• Abstract: Deep neural networks have demonstrated remarkable effectiveness across a wide range of tasks such as semantic segmentation. Nevertheless, these networks are vulnerable to adversarial attacks that add imperceptible perturbations to the input image, leading to false predictions. This vulnerability is particularly dangerous in safety-critical applications like automated driving. While adversarial examples and defense strategies are well-researched in the context of image classification, there is comparatively less research focused on semantic segmentation. Recently, we have proposed an uncertainty-based method for detecting adversarial attacks on neural networks for semantic segmentation. We observed that uncertainty, as measured by the entropy of the output distribution, behaves differently on clean versus adversely perturbed images, and we utilize this property to differentiate between the two. In this extended version of our work, we conduct a detailed analysis of uncertainty-based detection of adversarial attacks including a diverse set of adversarial attacks and various state-of-the-art neural networks. Our numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed uncertainty-based detection method, which is lightweight and operates as a post-processing step, i.e., no model modifications or knowledge of the adversarial example generation process are required.

  A major challenge that limits the wide-spread adoption of deep learning has been their fragility to adversarial attacks.

Experimental results using the case of image classification demonstrate the effectiveness and efficacy of the proposed residual error metric.

  We propose adversarial self-supervision UDA (or ASSUDA) that maximizes the agreement between clean images and their adversarial examples by a contrastive loss in the output space. This paper is rooted in two observations: (i) the robustness of UDA methods in semantic segmentation remains unexplored, which pose a security concern in this field; and (ii) although commonly used self-supervision (e.g., rotation and jigsaw) benefits image tasks such as classification and recognition, they fail to provide the critical supervision signals that could learn discriminative representation for segmentation tasks.

  We find that there exists compliance between perturbations and prediction confidence, which guides us to detect few-perturbation attacks from the aspect of prediction confidence. We propose a method beyond image space by a two-stream architecture, in which the image stream focuses on the pixel artifacts and the gradient stream copes with the confidence artifacts.

  We propose a new probabilistic adversarial detector motivated by a recently introduced non-robust feature. In this paper, we consider the non-robust features as a common property of adversarial examples, and we deduce it is possible to find a cluster in representation space corresponding to the property. This idea leads us to probability estimate distribution of adversarial representations in a separate cluster, and leverage the distribution for a likelihood based adversarial detector.
