Recent research has shown that adversarial patches can manipulate outputs from object detection models. However, the conspicuous patterns on these patches may draw more attention and raise suspicions among humans. Moreover, existing works have primarily focused on the attack performance of individual models and have neglected the generation of adversarial patches for ensemble attacks on multiple object detection models. To tackle these concerns, we propose a novel approach referred to as the More Vivid Patch (MVPatch), which aims to improve the transferability and stealthiness of adversarial patches while considering the limitations observed in prior paradigms, such as easy identification and poor transferability. Our approach incorporates an attack algorithm that decreases object confidence scores of multiple object detectors by using the ensemble attack loss function, thereby enhancing the transferability of adversarial patches. Additionally, we propose a lightweight visual similarity measurement algorithm realized by the Compared Specified Image Similarity (CSS) loss function, which allows for the generation of natural and stealthy adversarial patches without the reliance on additional generative models. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed MVPatch algorithm achieves superior attack transferability compared to similar algorithms in both digital and physical domains, while also exhibiting a more natural appearance. These findings emphasize the remarkable stealthiness and transferability of the proposed MVPatch attack algorithm.
