Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Object detection algorithms suffer from a perceptual vulnerability where they cannot differentiate between counterfeit and real objects. In this paper, we investigate the perceptual vulnerability in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) when faced with physical and digital spoofing attacks. To address this vulnerability, we propose a method named DSADA (Detecting Spoofing Attacks in Driver Assistance) to mitigate creation and misclassification spoofing attacks against object detection algorithms utilizing the LiDAR point clouds and objects’ spatial shapes. DSADA receives the outcomes of the object detection algorithm along with the corresponding LiDAR point clouds for each scene. DSADA exploits the spatial shapes of objects obtained from the point clouds to cross-validate the outcomes of the object detection algorithm. Any discrepancy results in generating an alert to warn about the spoofing attack. We analyze defense-aware and unaware attacks against DSADA. The evaluation results show the effectiveness of the suggested method with a true positive rate of 100% and a low false positive rate of only 3.97%. The comparative evaluation validates that the suggested method identifies a broader range of spoofed objects, including projected, displayed and printed ones, while narrowing the scope of potential attacks to familiar objects in the driving context.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
