Local feature encoding for unknown presentation attack detection: An analysis of different local feature descriptors by Lázaro J. González‐Soler, Marta Gomez‐Barrero, Jascha Kolberg, Leonardo Chang, Airel Pérez‐Suárez, Christoph Busch

“…In order to address that threat, the existing presentation attack detection (PAD) methods have reported a high detection performance when materials used for the fabrication of PAIs and capture devices are known. However, for more complex and realistic scenarios where one of those factors remains unknown, these PAD methods are unable to correctly separate a PAI from a real fingerprint (i.e. bona fide presentation). …”
