Unsupervised Adversarial Domain Adaptation for Cross-Domain Face Presentation Attack Detection

摘要

Face presentation attack detection (PAD) is essential for securing the widely used face recognition systems. Most of the existing PAD methods do not generalize well to unseen scenarios because labeled training data of the new domain is usually not available. In light of this, we propose an unsupervised domain adaptation with disentangled representation (DR-UDA) approach to improve the generalization capability of PAD into new scenarios. DR-UDA consists of three modules, i.e., ML-Net, UDA-Net and DR-Net. ML-Net aims to learn a discriminative feature representation using the labeled source domain face images via metric learning. UDA-Net performs unsupervised adversarial domain adaptation in order to optimize the source domain and target domain encoders jointly, and obtain a common feature space shared by both domains. As a result, the source domain PAD model can be effectively transferred to the unlabeled target domain for PAD. DR-Net further disentangles the features irrelevant to specific domains by reconstructing the source and target domain face images from the common feature space. Therefore, DR-UDA can learn a disentangled representation space which is generative for face images in both domains and discriminative for live vs. spoof classification. The proposed approach shows promising generalization capability in several public-domain face PAD databases.
