RePAIR: Inverting Backdoor Attacks in Semantic Segmentation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

RePAIR is a post‑hoc, label‑free defense for semantic segmentation models that counters backdoor attacks by inferring victim‑target relationships from unlabeled images and correcting predictions in feature space and output space. It localizes suspicious pixels by comparing classifier head outputs with internal semantic evidence, applying conservative constraints to avoid harming clean predictions. Experiments demonstrate that RePAIR significantly reduces attack success across various segmentation architectures while largely preserving clean performance.

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.
