Three discriminative representations for face presentation attack detection are introduced in this paper. Firstly we design a descriptor called spatial pyramid coding micro-texture (SPMT) feature to characterize local appearance information. Secondly we utilize the SSD, which is a deep learning framework for detection, to excavate context cues and conduct end-to-end face presentation attack detection. Finally we design a descriptor called template face matched binocular depth (TFBD) feature to characterize stereo structures of real and fake faces. For accurate presentation attack detection, we also design two kinds of representation combinations. Firstly, we propose a decision-level cascade strategy to combine SPMT with SSD. Secondly, we use a simple score fusion strategy to combine face structure cues (TFBD) with local micro-texture features (SPMT). To demonstrate the effectiveness of our design, we evaluate the representation combination of SPMT and SSD on three public datasets, which outperforms all other state-of-the-art methods. In addition, we evaluate the representation combination of SPMT and TFBD on our dataset and excellent performance is also achieved.
Despite the multimodal methods @cite_38 @cite_1 , most face presentation attack detection methods can be divided into five categories: motion based approaches @cite_34 @cite_15 @cite_45 @cite_19 , texture based approaches @cite_10 @cite_20 @cite_36 , stereo structure based approaches @cite_43 @cite_0 , deep learning based approaches @cite_3 @cite_29 @cite_52 and other approaches @cite_46 @cite_40 @cite_8 @cite_5 @cite_59 .

In this paper we consider the problem of multi-view face detection. While there has been significant research on this problem, current state-of-the-art approaches for this task require annotation of facial landmarks, e.g. TSM [25], or annotation of face poses [28, 22]. They also require training dozens of models to fully capture faces in all orientations, e.g. 22 models in HeadHunter method [22]. In this paper we propose Deep Dense Face Detector (DDFD), a method that does not require pose landmark annotation and is able to detect faces in a wide range of orientations using a single model based on deep convolutional neural networks. The proposed method has minimal complexity; unlike other recent deep learning object detection methods [9], it does not require additional components such as segmentation, bounding-box regression, or SVM classifiers. Furthermore, we analyzed scores of the proposed face detector for faces in different orientations and found that 1) the proposed method is able to detect faces from different angles and can handle occlusion to some extent, 2) there seems to be a correlation between distribution of positive examples in the training set and scores of the proposed face detector. The latter suggests that the proposed method's performance can be further improved by using better sampling strategies and more sophisticated data augmentation techniques. Evaluations on popular face detection benchmark datasets show that our single-model face detector algorithm has similar or better performance compared to the previous methods, which are more complex and require annotations of either different poses or facial landmarks. The vulnerabilities of face-based biometric systems to presentation attacks have been finally recognized but yet we lack generalized software-based face presentation attack detection (PAD) methods performing robustly in practical mobile authentication scenarios. This is mainly due to the fact that the existing public face PAD datasets are beginning to cover a variety of attack scenarios and acquisition conditions but their standard evaluation protocols do not encourage researchers to assess the generalization capabilities of their methods across these variations. In this present work, we introduce a new public face PAD database, OULU-NPU, aiming at evaluating the generalization of PAD methods in more realistic mobile authentication scenarios across three covariates: unknown environmental conditions (namely illumination and background scene), acquisition devices and presentation attack instruments (PAI). This publicly available database consists of 5940 videos corresponding to 55 subjects recorded in three different environments using high-resolution frontal cameras of six different smartphones. The high-quality print and videoreplay attacks were created using two different printers and two different display devices. Each of the four unambiguously defined evaluation protocols introduces at least one previously unseen condition to the test set, which enables a fair comparison on the generalization capabilities between new and existing approaches. The baseline results using color texture analysis based face PAD method demonstrate the challenging nature of the database. There are several types of spoofing attacks to face recognition systems such as photograph, video or mask attacks. Recent studies show that face recognition systems are vulnerable to these attacks. In this paper, a countermeasure technique is proposed to protect face recognition systems against mask attacks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a countermeasure is proposed to detect mask attacks. The reason for this delay is mainly due to the unavailability of public mask attacks databases. In this study, a 2D+3D face mask attacks database is used which is prepared for a research project in which the authors are all involved. The performance of the countermeasure is evaluated on both the texture images and the depth maps, separately. The results show that the proposed countermeasure gives satisfactory results using both the texture images and the depth maps. The performance of the countermeasure is observed to be slight better when the technique is applied on texture images instead of depth maps, which proves that face texture provides more information than 3D face shape characteristics using the proposed approach. We propose an approach for multi-pose face tracking by association of face detection responses in two stages using multiple cues. The low-level stage uses a two-threshold strategy to merge detection responses based on location, size and pose, resulting in short but reliable tracklets. The high-level stage uses different cues for computing a joint similarity measure between tracklets. The facial cue compares facial features of the most frontal face detections in pairs of tracklets. The classifier cue learns a discriminative appearance model for each tracklet, using detection pairs within reliable tracklets and between overlapping tracklets as training data. The constraint cue observes the compatibility of motion of two tracklets. The association of tracklets is globally optimized with the Hungarian algorithm. We validate our approach on two challenging episodes of two TV series and report a Multiple Object Tracking Accuracy (MOTA) of 82 and 68.2 , respectively.
