Existing adversarial attack methods usually add perturbations directly to the pixel space of an image, resulting in significant local noise in the image. Besides, the performance of existing attack methods is affected by various pixel-space based defense strategies. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate adversarial examples by adding perturbations to the feature space. Specifically, the perturbation of the feature space is induced by a style-shifting-based network architecture called AdvAdaIN. Furthermore, we expose the feature space to the attacker via an encoder, and then the perturbation is injected into the feature space by AdvAdaIN. Simultaneously, due to the specificity of feature space perturbations, we trained a decoder to reflect the changes in feature space to pixel space and ensure that the perturbations are not easily detected. Meanwhile, we align the original image with another image in the feature space, adding additional adversarial information to the model. In addition, we can generate diverse adversarial samples by varying the perturbation parameters, which mainly change the overall color and brightness of the image. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing methods and produces more natural adversarial samples when facing defensive strategies.
