Face-Spoofing 2D-Detection Based on Moiré-Pattern Analysis

Biometric systems based on face recognition have been shown unreliable under the presence of face-spoofing images. Hence, automatic solutions for spoofing detection became necessary. In this paper, face-spoofing detection is proposed by searching for Moiré patterns due to the overlap of the digital grids. The conditions under which these patterns arise are first described, and their detection is proposed which is based on peak detection in the frequency domain. Experimental results for the algorithm are presented for an image database of facial shots under several conditions.
