Recent studies have shown that video action recognition models are also vulnerable to fooling by adversarial samples. However, currently existing video attack methods usually require high computational overhead (e.g., they generate adversarial perturbations for all frames by default), and most of them are difficult to implement printable attacks in the physical world. To address the above issues, we devise a novel efficient and effective framework for video action recognition attack: Bullet-Screen-Emoji Attack with Temporal Difference Noise (BSE), a reinforcement learning-based black-box attack method that fools the model by simply generating adversarial bullet screens for key frame and scrolling them on clean video. The agent is optimized to make the optimal actions, i.e., searching key frame. Moreover, we introduce a simple and effective temporal difference noise to enhance the attack capability of the adversarial bullet screen and accelerate the convergence speed. Most importantly, BSE enables printable physical attacks. Extensive experiments show that our proposed BSE achieves promising attack performance on mainstream datasets (HMDB51, UCF101 and Kinetics-400) and in the physical world with high efficiency.
