Face liveness detection using background/foreground motion analysis

Abstract:

Face recognition systems are vulnerable to the presentation and spoofed faces, which may be presented to face recognition systems, for example, by an unauthorized user seeking to gain access to a protected resource. A face liveness detection method that addresses this vulnerability utilizes motion analysis to compare the relative movement among three regions of interest in a facial image, and based upon that comparison to make a face liveness determination.
