  • Patent number: 11972638
    Abstract: This application provides a face living body detection method performed by a computing device, the method including: obtaining a first face image of a target detection object in a first illumination condition and a second face image of the target detection object in a second illumination condition, determining a difference image according to the two images, decoupling an object reflectivity and an object normal vector corresponding to the target detection object from a feature map extracted from the difference image, and determining whether the target detection object is a living body according to the object reflectivity and the object normal vector. This method decouples texture information and depth information of a face, and performs living body detection by using decoupled information, which increases the defense capability against 3D attacks, thereby effectively defending against planar attacks and 3D attacks.

  • Publication number: 20230082906
    Abstract: A liveness detection method is provided. In the method, image features are extracted from an image of a user. Convolution processing is performed on the image features through an estimation network to obtain a predicted mean value and a predicted variance of the image features. Standardization processing is performed on the image features based on the predicted mean value, the predicted variance, and predetermined network parameters of the standardization processing to obtain standardized features. Whether the image of the user includes a living body image is determined according to a liveness classification probability of a classification performed on the image of the user based on the standardized features. Apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium counterpart embodiments are also contemplated.
