Print-scan process severely degrades AI face morphing detection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new study published on arXiv highlights a significant vulnerability in current single-image morphing attack detection (S-MAD) models. Researchers found that models performing well in digital environments suffer a threefold increase in error rates when faced with images that have undergone a print-scan process. This degradation is consistent across different scanning devices, indicating a critical gap between benchmark performance and real-world robustness for identity document security. AI

IMPACT Exposes a critical gap in AI-based identity verification, potentially impacting the security of digital and physical identity documents.

    Printed and Scanned: Exposing the Fragility of Single-Image Morphing Attack Detectors under Print-Scan Degradation

    arXiv:2610.35682v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Face morphing attacks, in which the biometric traits of two or more identities are blended into a single face image, pose a severe threat to identity document issuance and automated border control. Consequently, a large body of work…
