arXiv:2608. 08815v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traffic sign recognition (TSR) models based on deep neural networks achieve strong clean-data performance but remain vulnerable to physically realizable adversarial attacks, including shadow perturbations, natural-light interference, and printed patches.

Traffic Sign Recognition for Autonomous Driving Using Branched YOLOv2 and Geometric Features

The paper presents a traffic sign recognition system that extends YOLOv2 with a branched architecture and geometric feature integration. By adding intermediate prediction layers, the model can terminate inference early for easy cases, reducing computation time, while unsupervised Bayesian segmentation supplies geometric templates to improve classification of visually similar signs. Experiments on a combined GTSDB/GTSRB dataset show that the branched model achieves 0.680 mAP in 0.647 s, and adding geometric verification during inference raises mAP to 0.713.

FSPGD: Rethinking Black-box Attacks on Semantic Segmentation

FSPGD introduces a feature-space black-box attack for semantic segmentation that targets intermediate representations rather than just output logits. The method uses a dual loss: an external loss to disrupt cross-model feature alignment and an internal loss to reduce consistency among same-class instances. Experiments on Pascal VOC 2012 and Cityscapes show that FSPGD outperforms existing logit-level and segmentation-specific attacks across CNN and Transformer backbones, and its adversarial examples improve robustness when used for training.
