A Face Spoofing Detection Method Based on Domain Adaptation and Lossless Size Adaptation

Abstract

In this paper, a face spoofing detection method called the Fully Convolutional Network with Domain Adaptation and Lossless Size Adaptation (FCN-DA-LSA) is proposed. As its name suggests, the FCN-DA-LSA includes a lossless size adaptation preprocessor followed by an FCN based pixel-level classifier embedded with a domain adaptation layer. The FCN local classifier makes full use of the basic properties of face spoof distortion namely ubiquitous and repetitive. The domain adaptation (DA) layer improves generalization across different domains. The lossless size adaptation (LSA) preserves the high-frequent spoof clues caused by the face recapture process. The ablation study shows that both DA and the LSA are necessary for high-accuracy face spoofing detection. The FCN-LSA obtains competitive performance among the state-of-the-art methods. With the help of small-sample external data in the target domain (2/50, 2/50, and 1/20 subjects for CASIA-FASD, Replay-Attack, and OULU-NPU respectively), the FCN-DA-LSA further improves the performance and outperforms the existing methods.
