Detection of spoofing attacks for ear biometrics through image quality assessment and deep learning

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel ear anti-spoofing method using the fusion of two systems is proposed.

• Image Quality Measures (IQM) are used and combined with score-level fusion.

• Deep learning based CNN architecture is employed for ear anti-spoofing.

• Decision-level fusion of IQM and CNN achieves zero error rates on five datasets.

• Results are comparable with biometrics-based state-of-the-art anti-spoofing systems.
