Face anti-spoofing (a.k.a presentation attack detection) has drawn growing attention due to the high-security demand in face authentication systems. Existing CNN-based approaches usually well recognize the spoofing faces when training and testing spoofing samples display similar patterns, but their performance would drop drastically on testing spoofing faces of unseen scenes. In this paper, we try to boost the generalizability and applicability of these methods by designing a CNN model with two major novelties. First, we propose a simple yet effective Total Pairwise Confusion (TPC) loss for CNN training, which enhances the generalizability of the learned Presentation Attack (PA) representations. Secondly, we incorporate a Fast Domain Adaptation (FDA) component into the CNN model to alleviate negative effects brought by domain changes. Besides, our proposed model, which is named Generalizable Face Authentication CNN (GFA-CNN), works in a multi-task manner, performing face anti-spoofing and face recognition simultaneously. Experimental results show that GFA-CNN outperforms previous face anti-spoofing approaches and also well preserves the identity information of input face images.
Most previous approaches for face anti-spoofing exploit texture differences between live and spoofing faces with pre-defined features such as LBP @cite_25 , HoG @cite_13 , and SURF @cite_19 , which are subsequently fed to a supervised classifier (., SVM, LDA) for binary classification. However, such handcrafted features are very sensitive to different illumination conditions, camera devices, specific identities, . Though noticeable performance achieved under the intra-dataset protocol, the sample from a different environment may fail the model. In order to obtain features with better generalizability, some approaches leverage temporal information, making use of the spontaneous motions of the live faces, such as eye-blinking @cite_14 and lip motion @cite_23 . Though these methods are effective against photo attacks, they become vulnerable when attackers simulate these motions through a paper with eye mouth positions cut.

Though having achieved some progresses, the hand-crafted texture features, e.g., LBP [23], LBP-TOP [11] are still unable to capture the most discriminative cues between genuine and fake faces. In this paper, instead of designing feature by ourselves, we rely on the deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to learn features of high discriminative ability in a supervised manner. Combined with some data pre-processing, the face anti-spoofing performance improves drastically. In the experiments, over 70 relative decrease of Half Total Error Rate (HTER) is achieved on two challenging datasets, CASIA [36] and REPLAY-ATTACK [7] compared with the state-of-the-art. Meanwhile, the experimental results from inter-tests between two datasets indicates CNN can obtain features with better generalization ability. Moreover, the nets trained using combined data from two datasets have less biases between two datasets. A multi-cues integration framework is proposed using a hierarchical neural network.Bottleneck representations are effective in multi-cues feature fusion.Shearlet is utilized to perform face image quality assessment.Motion-based face liveness features are automatically learned using autoencoders. Many trait-specific countermeasures to face spoofing attacks have been developed for security of face authentication. However, there is no superior face anti-spoofing technique to deal with every kind of spoofing attack in varying scenarios. In order to improve the generalization ability of face anti-spoofing approaches, an extendable multi-cues integration framework for face anti-spoofing using a hierarchical neural network is proposed, which can fuse image quality cues and motion cues for liveness detection. Shearlet is utilized to develop an image quality-based liveness feature. Dense optical flow is utilized to extract motion-based liveness features. A bottleneck feature fusion strategy can integrate different liveness features effectively. The proposed approach was evaluated on three public face anti-spoofing databases. A half total error rate (HTER) of 0 and an equal error rate (EER) of 0 were achieved on both REPLAY-ATTACK database and 3D-MAD database. An EER of 5.83 was achieved on CASIA-FASD database. With the wide applications of user authentication based on face recognition, face spoof attacks against face recognition systems are drawing increasing attentions. While emerging approaches of face antispoofing have been reported in recent years, most of them limit to the non-realistic intra-database testing scenarios instead of the cross-database testing scenarios. We propose a robust representation integrating deep texture features and face movement cue like eye-blink as countermeasures for presentation attacks like photos and replays. We learn deep texture features from both aligned facial images and whole frames, and use a frame difference based approach for eye-blink detection. A face video clip is classified as live if it is categorized as live using both cues. Cross-database testing on public-domain face databases shows that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art. For a robust face biometric system, a reliable anti-spoofing approach must be deployed to circumvent the print and replay attacks. Several techniques have been proposed to counter face spoofing, however a robust solution that is computationally efficient is still unavailable. This paper presents a new approach for spoofing detection in face videos using motion magnification. Eulerian motion magnification approach is used to enhance the facial expressions commonly exhibited by subjects in a captured video. Next, two types of feature extraction algorithms are proposed: (i) a configuration of LBP that provides improved performance compared to other computationally expensive texture based approaches and (ii) motion estimation approach using HOOF descriptor. On the Print Attack and Replay Attack spoofing datasets, the proposed framework improves the state-of-art performance, especially HOOF descriptor yielding a near perfect half total error rate of 0 and 1.25 respectively.
