Face recognition (FR) technology plays a crucial role in various applications, but its vulnerability to adversarial attacks poses significant security concerns. Existing research primarily focuses on transferability to different FR models, overlooking the direct transferability to victim's face images, which is a practical threat in real-world scenarios. In this study, we propose a novel adversarial attack method that considers both the transferability to the FR model and the victim's face image, called NeRFTAP. Leveraging NeRF-based 3D-GAN, we generate new view face images for the source and target subjects to enhance transferability of adversarial patches. We introduce a style consistency loss to ensure the visual similarity between the adversarial UV map and the target UV map under a 0-1 mask, enhancing the effectiveness and naturalness of the generated adversarial face images. Extensive experiments and evaluations on various FR models demonstrate the superiority of our approach over existing attack techniques. Our work provides valuable insights for enhancing the robustness of FR systems in practical adversarial settings.
