Face presentation attack detection based on chromatic co-occurrence of local binary pattern and ensemble learning

摘要

To counter face presentation attacks in face recognition (FR), color texture has been successfully used for face presentation attack detection (PAD) in recent years. However, the existing research does not fully consider the correlation between different color channels as well as the optimization of classification for face PAD. To resolve these limitations, a face PAD scheme based on chromatic co-occurrence of local binary pattern (CCoLBP) and ensemble learning (EL) is proposed in this paper. A color distortion-based face PAD model is first built, and then the chromatic discrepancies between bona fide faces and artefacts are analyzed. After that, CCoLBP is extracted as the feature to characterize these discrepancies. Meanwhile, an EL based classifier is put forward to reduce the effect of class imbalance and to improve the generalization ability. Experimental results and analysis indicate that the proposed scheme can achieve an overall good performance. Moreover, it can achieve significant improvement in the cross-database test, and its computational complexity can meet the requirement of real time applications. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.
