Trimodal Analysis of Deceptive Behavior

Abstract

The need arises for developing a more reliable deception detection system to address the shortcomings of the traditional polygraph tests and the dependability on physiological indicators of deceit. This paper describes a new deception detection dataset, provides a novel comparison between three modalities to identify deception including the visual, thermal, and physiological domains, and analyzes whether certain facial areas are more capable of indicating deceit. Our experimental results show a promising performance especially with the thermal modality, and provide guidelines for our data collection process and future work.
