LipSSD: Lipschitz-Constrained Single-Shot Detection for Adversarially Robust Object Detection
arXiv:2607.06592v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Object detectors have many applications in safety-critical systems, but they are known to be sensitive to worst-case perturbations such as adversarial attacks, which limits their applicability in real-world scenarios. Compared with classification, adversarial robustness for object detection has received less attention, and existing methods are often tied to adversarial training, whose performance may not transfer across attacks, perturbation budgets, or architectures. In this work, we introduce Lipschitz-constrained variants of object detection
The increasing deployment of AI in safety-critical systems necessitates robust defenses against adversarial attacks, a problem that is becoming more acute as AI models proliferate.
Adversarially robust object detection is crucial for the reliable and secure application of AI in sensitive areas like autonomous systems and defense, directly impacting trust and deployment feasibility.
This research introduces a novel, non-adversarial training approach to improve the robustness of object detectors, potentially offering more generalizable solutions than current methods.
