Multifeature Fusion Detection Method for Fake Face Attack in Identity Authentication by Haiqing Liu, Shiqiang Zheng, Shuhua Hao, Yuancheng Li

“…Since the texture differences between the real and the fake faces can be easily detected, LBP (local binary patter) texture operators and optical flow algorithms are often merged. Basic LBP methods are also modified by considering the nearest neighbour binary computing method instead of the fixed centre pixel method; the traditional optical flow algorithm is also modified by applying the multifusion feature superposition method, which reduces the noise of the image. …”
