Xu et al. propose feature squeezing for detecting and defending against adversarial examples. In particular, they consider “squeezing” the bit depth of the input images as well as local and non-local smoothing (Gaussian, median filtering etc.). In experiments they show that feature squeezing preserves accuracy while defending against adversarial examples. Figure 1 additionally shows an illustration of how feature squeezing can be used to detect adversarial examples.
