SmartFace Ups Security with Passive Liveness Detection on Live Video Feeds

SmartFace is now capable of detecting spoof attacks in access control use cases and preventing unauthorized access to premises. The latest release raises the game of our facial recognition platform’s security features through passive liveness check on live video streams.

Passive Liveness Is on the Rise 

Behind the simplicity of passive liveness detection is a complex solution that prevents several types of spoofing attempts. Since the technology is non-intrusive, users aren’t even aware they are being checked. The system does everything on its own, providing customers a trouble-free user experience. It is one of the major reasons why more and more industries are implementing it.

Due to rising security concerns, detecting fraud as it happens in real time on a live video stream significantly enhances the capabilities of access control systems. 

Spoofing Attempts Are Getting Sophisticated 

Sophisticated fraudsters are aware that someone’s face and fake ID will no longer do the trick. To spoof a face recognition system, a real illegally-obtained ID is used, along with a selfie printout, to confirm identity. As long as they have the printout with them, the company may never know. That’s why there’s an urgent need for reliable passive facial liveness checks.

Attackers can also make use of 3D masks to deceive the system. It’s no longer difficult to get hold of 2D and 3D images on HD screens, puppets, wax heads, sculptures, or even robotic heads with fake muscles.  

Building Anti-Spoofing Measures Is No Walk in the Park

Our R&D team had their work cut out for them while developing our algorithm for liveness detection. The AI had to be trained to ascertain the person in front of the camera was real and not a spoof. They simulated numerous face spoof attacks to deceive the system by various datasets – photos, video recordings, or even 3D masks. Utilizing hundreds of thousands of images of real faces and real attacks is crucial in making our liveness detection robust and reliable.

With passive liveness check on live video streams, SmartFace can help secure your premises and the identity of your authorized staff. Our powerful face recognition solution, which has recently attained iBeta Level 2 compliance, offers a number of key features that effectively prevents spoofing and other presentation attacks minus all the hassle.
