Passive Facial Liveness Detection

Facial liveness has emerged as a way to fight fraud and ensure the integrity of face biometrics as a means of authentication or identity verification.

Facial liveness has emerged as a way to fight fraud and ensure the integrity of face biometrics as a means of authentication or identity verification. Whereas face recognition can accurately answer the question “Is this the right person?” it doesn’t answer the question, “Is this a real person?”. This is the role of liveness detection. Facial liveness detection works with facial recognition to determine if a biometric sample is being captured from a living subject who is present at the point of capture. As such, it stops fraudsters from using presentation attacks to spoof a facial recognition system.
