Incorporating HVS models improves adversarial example generation.
Traditional Lp norms are less aligned with human perception.
Abstract
This paper applies theories about the Human Visual System to make Adversarial AI more effective. To date, Adversarial AI has modeled perceptual distances between clean and adversarial examples of images using Lp norms. These norms have the benefit of simple mathematical description and reasonable effectiveness in approximating perceptual distance. However, in prior decades, other areas of image processing have moved beyond simpler models like Mean Squared Error (MSE) towards more complex models that better approximate the Human Visual System (HVS). We demonstrate a proof of concept of incorporating HVS models into Adversarial AI.
