On the Robustness of Semantic Segmentation Models to Adversarial Attacks

This code performs the experiments presented in our paper, On the Robustness of Semantic Segmentation Models to Adversarial Attacks. The code has been refactored from the version used to perform the experiments in the paper, but should reproduce the results.

Installation

The adversarial attacks are implemented in the Caffe framework. To run the code, Caffe must be installed and pycaffe should be present in the $PYTHONPATH environment variable.

Adversarial attacks

Variants of the FGSM attack, which produces adversarial perturbations with bounded l_{infinity} norm, are implemented in attacks.py. The code does not depend on the version of Caffe being used. Therefore, any fork of Caffe can be used (as long as it is in $PYTHONPATH), allowing many different types of models to be attacked.

Demos

Segmentation on Cityscapes

Run ./examples/demo_cityscapes.sh. You should see the following in the output directory which will be created.

Running on your own images

You can modify the demo script, or refer to opts.py for the command line arguments that need to be passed to the main.py. Note the keys which are expected to be in the model definition protoxt, as described next

Model definitions

The model defintion prototxt should set force_backward: true. This is necessary to compute gradients. The code assumes that there are nodes in the graph named data, label and output. These are the RGB image, the label and logits (not softmax-normalised) predicted by the network. An example of this is the here
