CCoLBP: Chromatic Co-Occurrence of Local Binary Pattern for Face Presentation Attack Detection

To counter face presentation attack in face recognition system, the chromatic facial texture differences between the real faces and the facial artefacts are fully analyzed, and chromatic co-occurrence of local binary pattern (CCoLBP) is proposed to investigate the inter-channel based information. Based on the principle of presentation attack and its influence on color component of the face image, a face presentation attack detection (PAD) scheme based on CCoLBP is proposed. By combining intra-channel based facial texture and CCoLBP feature, the differences of color distortion and texture distribution between the real faces and the artefacts are characterized. With these features, the detection is accomplished by using a Softmax classifier. Experiments are done with 5 public databases, and the experimental results and analysis indicate the effectiveness of CCoLBP, and it can achieve good performance in cross-database testing. It has great potential in the application of face PAD with real-time requirement.
