Thermal Topology Collapse: Universal Physical Patch Attacks on Infrared Vision Systems

ArXi:2603.21876v1 Announce Type: new Although infrared pedestrian detectors have been widely deployed in visual perception tasks, their vulnerability to physical adversarial attacks is becoming increasingly apparent. Existing physical attack methods predominantly rely on instance-specific online optimization and rigid pattern design, leading to high deployment costs and insufficient physical robustness. To address these limitations, this work proposes the Universal Physical Patch Attack (UPPA), the first universal physical attack method in the infrared domain.
