Silicone mask face anti-spoofing detection based on visual saliency and facial motion

摘要

Face recognition systems are widely used for target recognition and identity authentication, such as automated teller machines, mobile phones, and entrance guard systems. However, face recognition systems are vulnerable to presentation attacks, such as photo, replay, and 3D mask attacks. In particular, silicone mask attacks pose a greater threat to face recognition systems because high-quality silicone masks do living properties. To promote the development of face anti-spoofing detection algorithms for silicone mask attacks, this paper constructs a Silicone Mask Face Motion Video Dataset (SMFMVD) containing 200 real face videos and 200 silicone mask face videos. These videos include different facial motions collected from 20 subjects. Moreover, inspired by the observation that the silicone mask face's facial movement is not so natural as the real face, we propose a novel silicone mask face anti-spoofing detection method based on visual saliency and facial motion characteristics. Specifically, we compute the visual saliency map of a given face image by simulating two kinds of eye movement behaviors, namely "gaze" and "saccade". Then, we propose a saliency-weighted histogram of local binary pattern operator to extract facial texture features in spatial domain and a saliency-guided histogram of oriented optical flow operator to extract facial motion features in temporal domain. Finally, the support vector machine is used to fuse two groups of facial features to distinguish real and spoof faces. Extensive experiments on public and self-built datasets show its superiority over the state-of-the-art methods. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
