Generalized Presentation Attack Detection: a face antispoofing evaluation proposal Over the past few years, Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) has become a fundamental part of facial recognition systems. Although much effort has been devoted to antispoofing research, generalization in real scenarios remains a challenge. In this paper we present a new opensource evaluation framework to study the generalization capacity of face PAD methods, coined here as faceGPAD. This framework facilitates the creation of new protocols focused on the generalization problem establishing fair procedures of evaluation and comparison between PAD solutions. We also introduce a large aggregated and categorized dataset to address the problem of incompatibility between publicly available datasets. Finally, we propose a benchmark adding two novel evaluation protocols: one for measuring the effect introduced by the variations in face resolution, and the second for evaluating the influence of adversarial operating conditions.

Deceiving the Protector: Fooling Face Presentation Attack Detection Algorithms Face recognition systems are vulnerable to presentation attacks such as replay and 3D masks. In the literature, several presentation attack detection (PAD) algorithms are developed to address this problem. However, for the first time in the literature, this paper showcases that it is possible to fool the PAD algorithms using adversarial perturbations. The proposed perturbation approach attacks the presentation attack detection algorithms at the PAD feature level via transformation of features from one class (attack class) to another (real class). The PAD feature tampering network utilizes convolutional autoencoder to learn the perturbations. The proposed algorithm is evaluated with respect to CNN and local binary pattern (LBP) based PAD algorithms. Experiments on three databases, Replay, SMAD, and Face Morph, showcase that the proposed approach increases the equal error rate of PAD algorithms by at least two times. For instance, on the SMAD database, PAD equal error rate (EER) of 20.1% is increased to 55.7% after attacking the PAD algorithm.
