SuperPure: Efficient Purification of Localized and Distributed Adversarial Patches via Super-Resolution GAN Models

Abstract

As vision-based machine learning models are increasingly integrated into autonomous and cyber-physical systems, concerns about (physical) adversarial patch attacks are growing. While state-of-the-art defenses can achieve certified robustness with minimal impact on utility against highly-concentrated localized patch attacks, they fall short in two important areas: (i) State-of-the-art methods are vulnerable to low-noise distributed patches where perturbations are subtly dispersed to evade detection or masking, as shown recently by the DorPatch attack; (ii) Achieving high robustness with state-of-the-art methods is extremely time and resource-consuming, rendering them impractical for latency-sensitive applications in many cyber-physical systems. To address both robustness and latency issues, this paper proposes a new defense strategy for adversarial patch attacks called SuperPure. The key novelty is developing a pixel-wise masking scheme that is robust against both distributed and localized patches. The masking involves leveraging a GAN-based super-resolution scheme to gradually purify the image from adversarial patches. Our extensive evaluations using ImageNet and two standard classifiers, ResNet and EfficientNet, show that SuperPure advances the state-of-the-art in three major directions: (i) it improves the robustness against conventional localized patches by more than 20 by almost 10 attacks (as opposed to 0 decreases the defense end-to-end latency by over 98 Our further analysis shows that SuperPure is robust against white-box attacks and different patch sizes. Our code is open-source.
