A Single-Frame Face Anti-Spoofing Algorithm With Circular CDC and Multi-Scale Spatial Attention

Face anti-spoofing is to prevent face images with attack properties from entering face recognition and causing confusion or spoofing of the face recognition function. Since most face presentation attacks do not possess true deep information, some recent works use this information as supervisory signal. In this paper, we continue such a pattern by proposing a circular CDC (Central Difference Convolution) with larger sensory field and contextual semantic awareness, and use it in a backbone network for improving the network model’s ability to characterize texture features and multi-scale information. Combined with the spatial attention method concat multiple scale feature maps are used to fuse the feature map information from multiple scales. We conduct a series of experiments on OULU-NPU and demonstrate that our network accuracy is better than the original algorithm, especially in terms of generalizability across devices and different environments.
