An Overview of Face Liveness Detection
Open accessAbstract
Face recognition is a widely used biometric approach.Face recognition technology has developed rapidly in recent years and it is more direct, user friendly and convenient compared to other methods.But face recognition systems are vulnerable to spoof attacks made by non-real faces.It is an easy way to spoof face recognition systems by facial pictures such as portrait photographs.A secure system needs Liveness detection in order to guard against such spoofing.In this work, face liveness detection approaches are categorized based on the various types techniques used for liveness detection.This categorization helps understanding different spoof attacks scenarios and their relation to the developed solutions.A review of the latest works regarding face liveness detection works is presented.The main aim is to provide a simple path for the future development of novel and more secured face liveness detection approach.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
