Generating Multi-view Adversarial Examples for Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer

Abstract

The Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer (VGGT) enables unified feed-forward 3D reconstruction from multi-view images. However, deploying such a high-performance model may expose critical security vulnerabilities. Traditional adversarial perturbations require costly per-scene optimization, while Universal Adversarial Perturbations (UAPs) rely on a single static pattern and fail to effectively attack VGGT. To address these limitations, we propose \textbf{MVAP-G}, a multi-view adversarial perturbation generator that produces imperceptible consistent perturbations across multiple views in a single feed-forward pass. To ensure perturbation consistency across diverse scenes, we design a cross-view adversarial alignment mechanism to process multi-view images. Experiments demonstrate that MVAP-G significantly degrades VGGT performance without iterative optimization during inference. This work pioneers multi-view adversarial attacks on 3D foundation models, uncovering severe vulnerabilities and underscoring the urgent need for robust 3D vision systems.
