Developing Imperceptible Adversarial Patches to Camouflage Military Assets From Computer Vision Enabled Technologies
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated rapid progress and a high level of success in object detection. However, recent evidence has highlighted their vulnerability to adversarial attacks. These attacks are calculated image perturbations or adversarial patches that result in object misclassification or detection suppression. Traditional camouflage methods are impractical when applied to disguise aircraft and other large mobile assets from autonomous detection in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance technologies and fifth generation missiles. In this paper we present a unique method that produces imperceptible patches capable of camouflaging large military assets from computer vision-enabled technologies. We developed these patches by maximising object detection loss whilst limiting the patch's colour perceptibility. This work also aims to further the understanding of adversarial examples and their effects on object detection algorithms.

Adversarial Patch Camouflage against Aerial Detection
Detection of military assets on the ground can be performed by applying deep learning-based object detectors on drone surveillance footage. The traditional way of hiding military assets from sight is camouflage, for exam…
ObjectStructured Adversarial Camouflage via Voronoi Diagrams
Pixel-wise adversarial patches are computationally heavy and often visually detectable, limiting utility in security-critical systems. We present adversarial Voronoi camouflage that optimizes only seed-point locations un…
Adversarial Training against Location-Optimized Adversarial Patches
Deep neural networks have been shown to be susceptible to adversarial examples -- small, imperceptible changes constructed to cause mis-classification in otherwise highly accurate image classifiers. As a practical altern…
