One-shot lip-based biometric authentication: extending behavioral features with authentication phrase information
Lip-based biometric authentication (LBBA) is an authentication method based on a person's lip movements during speech in the form of video data captured by a camera sensor. LBBA can utilize both physical and behavioral characteristics of lip movements without requiring any additional sensory equipment apart from an RGB camera. State-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches use one-shot learning to train deep siamese neural networks which produce an embedding vector out of these features. Embeddings are further used to compute the similarity between an enrolled user and a user being authenticated. A flaw of these approaches is that they model behavioral features as style-of-speech without relation to what is being said. This makes the system vulnerable to video replay attacks of the client speaking any phrase. To solve this problem we propose a one-shot approach which models behavioral features to discriminate against what is being said in addition to style-of-speech. We achieve this by customizing the GRID dataset to obtain required triplets and training a siamese neural network based on 3D convolutions and recurrent neural network layers. A custom triplet loss for batch-wise hard-negative mining is proposed. Obtained results using an open-set protocol are 3.2 GRID dataset. Additional analysis of the results was done to quantify the influence and discriminatory power of behavioral and physical features for LBBA.
