Towards Imperceptible Adversarial Image Patches Based on Network Explanations
share
The vulnerability of deep neural networks (DNNs) for adversarial examples have attracted more attention. Many algorithms are proposed to craft powerful adversarial examples. However, these algorithms modifying the global or local region of pixels without taking into account network explanations. Hence, the perturbations are redundancy and easily detected by human eyes. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate local region perturbations. The main idea is to find the contributing feature regions (CFRs) of images based on network explanations for perturbations. Due to the network explanations, the perturbations added to the CFRs are more effective than other regions. In our method, a soft mask matrix is designed to represent the CFRs for finely characterizing the contributions of each pixel. Based on this soft mask, we develop a new objective function with inverse temperature to search for optimal perturbations in CFRs. Extensive experiments are conducted on CIFAR-10 and ILSVRC2012, which demonstrate the effectiveness, including attack success rate, imperceptibility,and transferability.
