The recent advancements in adversarial machine learning have seen a significant shift towards leveraging differentiable rendering techniques for generating more sophisticated and realistic adversarial attacks. This trend is particularly evident in the manipulation of 3D objects and scenes to deceive deep neural networks, with a focus on tasks such as texture manipulation, illumination alteration, and 3D mesh modification. These methods aim to exploit vulnerabilities in various DNN applications, including image classification, facial recognition, and object detection, by creating photorealistic adversarial examples that are difficult to detect. Notably, there is a growing emphasis on ensuring environmental consistency and naturalness in adversarial patches, as well as addressing biases in 3D relightable face generation to improve skin tone consistency. These developments highlight the need for robust and accurate adversarial camouflage that can perform effectively across diverse weather conditions and maintain a seamless integration with the environment. The integration of neural rendering components and the use of diffusion models for patch generation are key innovations driving this field forward, promising to enhance the realism and effectiveness of adversarial attacks in real-world scenarios.
