This addresses security vulnerabilities in face recognition systems by improving detection of presentation attacks, though it is incremental as it builds on existing depth-supervised approaches.

The paper tackles face anti-spoofing by developing a method that estimates depth from multiple RGB frames and uses a depth-supervised architecture with novel modules to encode spatiotemporal information, achieving state-of-the-art results on four benchmark datasets.

Face anti-spoofing is significant to the security of face recognition systems. Previous works on depth supervised learning have proved the effectiveness for face anti-spoofing. Nevertheless, they only considered the depth as an auxiliary supervision in the single frame. Different from these methods, we develop a new method to estimate depth information from multiple RGB frames and propose a depth-supervised architecture which can efficiently encodes spatiotemporal information for presentation attack detection. It includes two novel modules: optical flow guided feature block (OFFB) and convolution gated recurrent units (ConvGRU) module, which are designed to extract short-term and long-term motion to discriminate living and spoofing faces. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art results on four benchmark datasets, namely OULU-NPU, SiW, CASIA-MFSD, and Replay-Attack.
