Special Issue on Face Presentation Attack Detection

Face presentation attack detection, also termed Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS) [item 1), 2) in the Appendix), is a hot and challenging research topic that has received much attention from the computer vision and pattern recognition communities in the past. Owing to the development of deep learning and big data, recent advances in this and related fields has increased considerably. However, there are still several challenging tasks that deserve attention from the community, for instance robust techniques to unknown spoofing attacks, cross-domain generalization, and multi-modal fusion in images and video sequences. We edited this special issue with the goal of compiling the latest progress in the field and identifying promising research opportunities on FAS.
