摘要

The mathematical foundations driving machine vision, while powerful, introduce inherent susceptibilities. This vulnerability is potentially could be exploited by optimization-based adversarial attacks, challenging the computer vision systems. This paper utilizes a hieratical optimization framework that reconstruct feature-equivalent images from arbitrary input image or noise generators. The method utilizes classical differential evolution, iterative refinement, and neural fine-tuning to progressively construct global, local, and nonlinear characteristics of image hand crafted feature. Three widely used features; Local Binary Patterns (LBP), Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM), and Fourier descriptor are selected to evaluate reconstruction performance. With diverse initial images, including Gaussian, uniform, Perlin, turbulent noise, and even real images, the framework eventually is successful to achieve correlations above 0.99 with the chosen feature vectors. Experiments demonstrate that while the recovered images differ perceptually from the targets, they remain statistically unrecognizable under the selected features. This highlights both a vulnerability of feature-based computer vision systems to adversarial inputs and a promising tool for generating statistically reliable synthetic datasets. The findings demonstrate that the multi-step optimization can be strong method for feature-based image synthesis, offering implications for both security and dataset construction in computer vision.
