A software Tool for Securing Deep Learning against Adversarial Attacks for CAVs

The scope of this project is to realize a technology transfer of previously developed adversarial attack resilient perception algorithm for autonomous navigation in connected and automated vehicles. The project will attain its objectives by developing a graphical user interface (GUI) designed for the automatic generation of a robust perception algorithm. This involves utilizing a baseline perception neural network and offering options for training and evaluation using various publicly available image datasets. Furthermore, the initiative includes training students on the utilization of the developed GUI, aiming to cultivate a generation of proficient individuals poised to contribute to the advancement of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and society as a whole. Practical applications and understanding of the proposed technology will be demonstrated through workshops, employing an autonomous F1/10 car testbed that emulates a Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) perception module. The technology’s viability will be showcased by implementing it on an autonomous vehicle within the AVL DrivingCube SCENIUS at CU-ICAR, highlighting its real-world applicability and potential impact on autonomous vehicle technology.
