Adversarial attacks have always been a serious threat for any data-driven model. In this paper, we explore subspaces of adversarial examples in unitary vector domain, and we propose a novel detector for defending our models trained for environmental sound classification. We measure chordal distance between legitimate and malicious representation of sounds in unitary space of generalized Schur decomposition and show that their manifolds lie far from each other. Our front-end detector is a regularized logistic regression which discriminates eigenvalues of legitimate and adversarial spectrograms. The experimental results on three benchmarking datasets of environmental sounds represented by spectrograms reveal high detection rate of the proposed detector for eight types of adversarial attacks and outperforms other detection approaches.
