4D Presentation Attack Detection

The digitalization of organizational processes is progressing fast. At the same time, the need for robust, unsupervised authentication methods is increasing. Typical organizational processes are automated border control, the opening of a bank account, financial transfer, and mobile payments using self-service eGates, kiosks, and smart devices. However, current authentication methods are susceptible to advanced spoofing attacks or identity thefts. In this project we aim to develop more robust representations and methods based on temporal high-resolution 3D sensor data.

The human face has a high potential for biometric identification due to its many individual traits. At the same time, such identification is vulnerable to biometric copies. These presentation attacks pose a great challenge in unsupervised authentication settings. As a countermeasure, we propose a method that automatically analyzes the plausibility of facial behavior based on a sequence of 3D face scans. A compact feature representation measures facial behavior using the temporal curvature change. Finally, we train our method only on genuine faces in an anomaly detection scenario. Our method can detect presentation attacks using elastic 3D masks, bent photographs with eye holes, and monitor replay-attacks. For evaluation, we recorded a challenging database containing such cases using a high-quality 3D sensor. It features 109 4D face scans including eleven different types of presentation attacks. We achieve error rates of 11% and 6% for APCER and BPCER, respectively.
