A Novel High-Performance Face Anti-Spoofing Detection Method

Abstract

Accurate face recognition technology is of great significance for face anti-counterfeiting. Due to illumination, posture, angle, and other reasons, the existing face liveness detection technology is difficult to adapt the environmental changes, resulting in low detection accuracy. To address this issue, this paper presents a novel high-performance face anti-spoofing detection method named RGCS_ConvNeXt. The data-enhanced face images are fed into the ConvNext network, which group convolution is added to extract the correlation between different features, and the coordinate attention mechanism is used to enhance the facial feature extraction capability both spatially and directionally. Then SPPF is used to extract the features at different scales to enhance the representation of the feature map. Finally, the facial key point detection technique is utilized to calculate the eye EAR value to achieve accurate face anti-counterfeiting recognition. The proposed algorithm shows an average classification error rate of 0.3%, 1.7%, 1.9%±1.5% and 2.8%±3.4%, respectively, on the four protocols of the OULU-NPU public dataset. On the Siw dataset, the average classification error rate is 0.69%, a reduction of 0.02% compared to the MA-Net network. The half-error rate on the MSU-MFSD dataset is 2.39%, a 0.21% reduction compared to the DPCNN network. The algorithm shows good accuracy on the OULU-NPU, MSU-MFSD and Siw datasets, reaching 99.64%, 98.40% and 99.25% respectively, 0.26% higher than the SE-FeatherNet network’s average accuracy.
