The SWAX Benchmark: Attacking Biometric Systems with Wax Figures
share
A face spoofing attack occurs when an intruder attempts to impersonate someone who carries a gainful authentication clearance. It is a trending topic due to the increasing demand for biometric authentication on mobile devices, high-security areas, among others. This work introduces a new database named Sense Wax Attack dataset (SWAX), comprised of real human and wax figure images and videos that endorse the problem of face spoofing detection. The dataset consists of more than 1800 face images and 110 videos of 55 people/waxworks, arranged in training, validation and test sets with a large range in expression, illumination and pose variations. Experiments performed with baseline methods show that despite the progress in recent years, advanced spoofing methods are still vulnerable to high-quality violation attempts.
