Unrevealed Threats: A Comprehensive Study of the Adversarial Robustness of Underwater Image Enhancement Models
- 设计针对水下图像增强的像素与色彩扰动攻击方法。
- 五种模型均受小扰动影响,导致增强失败。
- 适合关注水下视觉安全与模型鲁棒性的研究者。
基于学习的水下图像增强(UWIE)方法已得到广泛研究,但这类模型通常对对抗样本敏感,而目前尚无对UWIE模型对抗鲁棒性的系统性研究,表明其可能面临对抗攻击威胁。本文提出通用对抗攻击协议,首次在三个常用水下图像基准数据集上对五种先进UWIE模型进行攻击实验。考虑到水下环境光散射与吸收特性,颜色校正与增强存在强关联,据此设计了面向UWIE的两种攻击方法:像素攻击(Pixel Attack)和色彩偏移攻击(Color Shift Attack),分别作用于不同色彩空间。实验表明,五种模型不同程度地暴露于对抗攻击,微小扰动即可阻止模型生成有效增强结果。进一步通过对抗训练成功缓解攻击效果。本工作揭示了UWIE模型的对抗脆弱性,提出了新的评估维度。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Learning-based methods for underwater image enhancement (UWIE) have undergone extensive exploration. However, learning-based models are usually vulnerable to adversarial examples so as the UWIE models. To the best of our knowledge, there is no comprehensive study on the adversarial robustness of UWIE models, which indicates that UWIE models are potentially under the threat of adversarial attacks. In this paper, we propose a general adversarial attack protocol. We make a first attempt to conduct adversarial attacks on five well-designed UWIE models on three common underwater image benchmark datasets. Considering the scattering and absorption of light in the underwater environment, there exists a strong correlation between color correction and underwater image enhancement. On the basis of that, we also design two effective UWIE-oriented adversarial attack methods Pixel Attack and Color Shift Attack targeting different color spaces. The results show that five models exhibit varying degrees of vulnerability to adversarial attacks and well-designed small perturbations on degraded images are capable of preventing UWIE models from generating enhanced results. Further, we conduct adversarial training on these models and successfully mitigated the effectiveness of adversarial attacks. In summary, we reveal the adversarial vulnerability of UWIE models and propose a new evaluation dimension of UWIE models.
