Previous adversarial attacks on 3D point clouds mainly focus on add perturbation to the original point cloud, but the generated adversarial point cloud example does not strictly represent a 3D object in the physical world and has lower transferability or easily defend by the simple SRS/SOR. In this paper, we present a novel adversarial attack, named Mesh Attack to address this problem. Specifically, we perform perturbation on the mesh instead of point clouds and obtain the adversarial mesh examples and point cloud examples simultaneously. To generate adversarial examples, we use a differential sample module that back-propagates the loss of point cloud classifier to the mesh vertices and a mesh loss that regularizes the mesh to be smooth. Extensive experiments demonstrated that the proposed scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art attack methods. Our code is available at: https://github.com/cuge1995/Mesh-Attack.
