Integrating Fine-Grained Classification and Motion Relation Analysis for Face Anti-Spoofing by Ziyang Cheng, Xiafen Zhang

“…By introducing an attention mechanism, the MCAN uses the RAFT optical flow algorithm to adaptively focus on the direction and intensity of micro-movements in key face regions, distinguishing the natural movement of real faces from the static or repetitive motion patterns in spoofing attacks. Inspired by the latest face recognition research, the Distribution Based Additive Margin softmax-Similarity (DAMS-SIM) loss function is designed in the FGCN network to address the asymmetry between real and spoofed samples, enabling the network to capture the local fine-grained texture differences between real faces and spoofing attacks. …”
