Steps

1. Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/shashankkotyan/DualQualityAssessment.git
cd ./DualQualityAssessment

2. Create a virtual environment

conda create --name dqa python=3.7.4
conda activate dqa

3. Install the python packages in requirements.txt if you don't have them already.

pip install -r ./requirements.txt

4. Run an adversarial attack with the following command.

   a) Run the Pixel Attack with the following command

   python -u code/run_attack.py pixel [ARGS] > run.txt

   b) Run the Threshold Attack with the following command

   python -u code/run_attack.py threshold [ARGS] > run.txt
