Event cameras detect liveness with 95% accuracy using eye dynamics

Researchers have explored using event cameras for face liveness detection, focusing on temporal ocular dynamics. Unlike traditional RGB cameras, event cameras capture asynchronous brightness changes with high temporal resolution, allowing for precise analysis of eye movements like saccades. These cameras can distinguish between genuine and replayed sequences because replay attacks struggle to replicate the natural dynamics, leading to detectable spatio-temporal patterns. The study achieved up to 95.37% accuracy using a spiking convolutional neural network, indicating potential for robust and low-latency liveness detection. AI

IMPACT Event cameras offer a novel approach to liveness detection, potentially improving security against spoofing attacks.
