Attacking Robot Vision Models Efficiently Based on Improved Fast Gradient Sign Method

摘要

The robot vision model is the basis for the robot to perceive and understand the environment and make correct decisions. However, the security and stability of robot vision models are seriously threatened by adversarial examples. In this study, we propose an adversarial attack algorithm, RMS-FGSM, for robot vision models based on root-mean-square propagation (RMSProp). RMS-FGSM uses an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) to reduce the weight of the historical cumulative squared gradient. Additionally, it can suppress the gradient growth based on an adaptive learning rate. By integrating with the RMSProp, RMS-FGSM is more likely to generate optimal adversarial examples, and a high attack success rate can be achieved. Experiments on two datasets (MNIST and CIFAR-100) and several models (LeNet, Alexnet, and Resnet-101) show that the attack success rate of RMS-FGSM is higher than the state-of-the-art methods. Above all, our generated adversarial examples have a smaller perturbation than those generated by existing methods under the same attack success rate.
