Abstract: Adversarial attacks pose a significant threat to deep learning-based computer vision models, potentially leading to incorrect predictions in safety-critical applications. This invention proposes a Robust Adversarial Network (RAN) designed to enhance model resilience against perturbations through a multi-faceted approach. The proposed framework integrates frequency-aware adversarial training, multi-scale feature alignment, and an adaptive defense mechanism to improve robustness while maintaining computational efficiency. By leveraging Fourier-based perturbation detection, dynamic model adaptation, and feature consistency at multiple abstraction levels, RAN effectively mitigates adversarial threats. Experimental evaluations demonstrate significant improvements in robustness against state-of-the-art attack methods while preserving model accuracy on clean data. This innovation provides a practical and efficient adversarial defense strategy, benefiting applications in autonomous systems, healthcare, and security.
1. A novel adversarial defense framework that utilizes frequency-aware adversarial training to detect and mitigate high-frequency perturbations, improving the robustness of deep learning-based computer vision models.
2. An adaptive defense mechanism based on reinforcement learning that dynamically adjusts model parameters in real-time to counter adversarial attacks.
3. A multi-scale feature alignment module that enhances feature representation at different abstraction levels, reducing the impact of adversarial noise while maintaining accuracy on clean samples.
Description:Title:
Robust Adversarial Network for Enhancing Computer Vision Models Against Perturbations
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention is related to the computer science and machine learning field.
Background
[0002] Deep learning-based computer vision models are highly sensitive to adversarial perturbations, where small, imperceptible modifications to input images can significantly degrade model performance. These vulnerabilities pose serious risks in critical applications such as autonomous driving, healthcare, and security surveillance.
[0003] Traditional adversarial training methods often rely on generating perturbed samples and retraining models on them. However, these approaches require extensive computational resources, struggle to generalize across different attack types, and may lead to reduced model accuracy on clean data.
[0004] Recent studies indicate that adversarial perturbations often exist in specific frequency bands. However, existing defense mechanisms do not effectively utilize frequency-aware strategies to detect and mitigate such perturbations, leading to inefficient adversarial robustness.
[0005] As AI-powered vision systems become integral to industries like finance, defense, and healthcare, the demand for robust and secure AI models has increased. A novel adversarial network that enhances robustness while maintaining computational efficiency is crucial for real-world deployment.

In some embodiments, the numerical parameters should be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of some embodiments of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as practicable. The numerical values presented in some embodiments of the invention may contain certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.

Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of “in” includes “in” and “on” unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0009] The recitation of ranges of values herein is merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each individual value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g. “such as”) provided with respect to certain embodiments herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any non- claimed element essential to the practice of the invention.
[0010] Groupings of alternative elements or embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are not to be construed as limitations. Each group member can be referred to and claimed individually or in any combination with other members of the group or other elements found herein. One or more members of a group can be included in, or deleted from, a group for reasons of convenience and/or patentability. When any such inclusion or deletion occurs, the specification is herein deemed to contain the group as modified thus fulfilling the written description of all Markush groups used in the appended claims.

The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-
exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or
steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refer to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C …. and N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc.
