Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Deep learning models excel in interpreting the exponentially growing amounts of remote sensing data; however, they are susceptible to deception and spoofing by adversarial samples, posing catastrophic threats. The existing methods to combat adversarial samples have limited performance in robustness and efficiency, particularly in complex remote sensing scenarios. To tackle these challenges, an unsupervised domain adaptation algorithm is proposed for the accurate identification of clean images and adversarial samples by exploring a robust generative adversarial classification network that can harmonize the features between clean images and adversarial samples to minimize distribution discrepancies. Furthermore, linear polynomial loss as a replacement for cross-entropy loss is integrated to guide robust representation learning. Additionally, we leverage the fast gradient sign method (FGSM) and projected gradient descent (PGD) algorithms to generate adversarial samples with varying perturbation amplitudes to assess model robustness. A series of experiments was performed on the RSSCN7 dataset and SIRI-WHU dataset. Our experimental results illustrate that the proposed algorithm performs exceptionally well in classifying clean images while demonstrating robustness against adversarial perturbations.
