contents Adversarial attacks pose serious challenges for deep neural network (DNN)-based analysis of various input signals. In the case of three-dimensional point clouds, methods have been developed to identify points that play a key role in network decision, and these become crucial in generating existing adversarial attacks. For example, a saliency map approach is a popular method for identifying adversarial drop points, whose removal would significantly impact the network decision. This paper seeks to enhance the understanding of three-dimensional adversarial attacks by exploring which point cloud features are most important for predicting adversarial points. Specifically, Fourteen key point cloud features such as edge intensity and distance from the centroid are defined, and multiple linear regression is employed to assess their predictive power for adversarial points. Based on critical feature selection insights, a new attack method has been developed to evaluate whether the selected features can generate an attack successfully. Unlike traditional attack methods that rely on model-specific vulnerabilities, this approach focuses on the intrinsic characteristics of the point clouds themselves. It is demonstrated that these features can predict adversarial points across four different DNN architectures, Point Network (PointNet), PointNet++, Dynamic Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (DGCNN), and Point Convolutional Network (PointConv) outperforming random guessing and achieving results comparable to saliency map-based attacks. This study has important engineering applications, such as enhancing the security and robustness of three-dimensional point cloud-based systems in fields like robotics and autonomous driving.
