Abstract

En 中文
Face verification is widely used for Automated Border Control (ABC) in many countries. But such ABC systems are vulnerable to Morphing Attacks (MAs), where a morphed face image is submitted to apply for a passport. To counter face MAs, this paper proposes to detect morphed face images and identify morphing attackers by the use of a watchlist. It is carried out by comparing a suspect image with the biometric references contained in a watchlist, and its detection process is accomplished by analyzing the results of face comparison. Once a morphed image is detected, its morphing attacker is also identified. Meanwhile, a database with different morphing methods, image qualities, facial expressions, and face angles is collected. Experimental results and analysis show that it can achieve stable detection and attacker identification performance for 4 different face MAs, and it can well generalize to unseen morphing types and weights. Moreover, it has good robustness to variations of image qualities, facial expressions, and face angles.
