Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: biometrics, deep learning, denoising diffusion probabilistic models, diffusion, face, face morphing attack, morphing attack, morphing attack detection @inproceedings{IWBF2023_Marija,Morphed face images have recently become a growing concern for existing face verification systems, as they are relatively easy to generate and can be used to impersonate someone's identity for various malicious purposes. Efficient Morphing Attack Detection (MAD) that generalizes well across different morphing techniques is, therefore, of paramount importance. Existing MAD techniques predominantly rely on discriminative models that learn from examples of bona fide and morphed images and, as a result, often exhibit sub-optimal generalization performance when confronted with unknown types of morphing attacks. To address this problem, we propose a novel, diffusion--based MAD method in this paper that learns only from the characteristics of bona fide images. Various forms of morphing attacks are then detected by our model as out-of-distribution samples. We perform rigorous experiments over four different datasets (CASIA-WebFace, FRLL-Morphs, FERET-Morphs and FRGC-Morphs) and compare the proposed solution to both discriminatively-trained and once-class MAD models. The experimental results show that our MAD model achieves highly competitive results on all considered datasets. |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: competition, face, face morphing, face morphing attack, face morphing detection, private data, synthetic data @inproceedings{MarijaMorphing,Images of morphed faces pose a serious threat to face recognition--based security systems, as they can be used to illegally verify the identity of multiple people with a single morphed image. Modern detection algorithms learn to identify such morphing attacks using authentic images of real individuals. This approach raises various privacy concerns and limits the amount of publicly available training data. In this paper, we explore the efficacy of detection algorithms that are trained only on faces of non--existing people and their respective morphs. To this end, two dedicated algorithms are trained with synthetic data and then evaluated on three real-world datasets, i.e.: FRLL-Morphs, FERET-Morphs and FRGC-Morphs. Our results show that synthetic facial images can be successfully employed for the training process of the detection algorithms and generalize well to real-world scenarios. |
