arXiv:2608.06801v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physical adversarial attacks against person detectors have evolved from localized patches to full-body textures. However, achieving both visual naturalness and strong attack effectiveness remains challenging. Existing natural-looking methods typically optimize camouflage textures as a whole, limiting the flexibility to refine local adversarial patterns and their spatial arrangement. To address this issue, we propose AdvTiles, a physical adversarial camouflage framework built from learnable tiles, enabling strong attack performance while preserving a natural camouflage appearance. Specifically, we use a Straight-through (ST) Gumbel-Softmax estimator for differentiable tile selection, enabling joint optimization of tile patterns and spatial layouts. This design provides fine-grained control over adversarial texture generation. To improve robustness in diverse physical conditions, we further optimize the camouflage through differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting rendering with variations in viewpoints, scales, illuminations and backgrounds. Extensive experiments across multiple detectors demonstrate that AdvTiles achieves an average ASR of 86.2%, outperforming existing state-of-the-art attack methods. We further fabricate the optimized camouflage into wearable adversarial clothing, validating its effectiveness in real-world scenarios across diverse distances, angles and backgrounds.
