• Authors: Nitish Shukla
• Abstract summary: Face Recognition Systems (FRS) are vulnerable to morph attacks. Current Morph Attack Detection (MAD) can detect the morph but are unable to recover the identities used to create the morph. We propose SDeMorph, a novel de-morphing method that is reference-free and recovers the identities of bona fides.

• Abstract: Face Recognition Systems (FRS) are vulnerable to morph attacks. A face morph is created by combining multiple identities with the intention to fool FRS and making it match the morph with multiple identities. Current Morph Attack Detection (MAD) can detect the morph but are unable to recover the identities used to create the morph with satisfactory outcomes. Existing work in de-morphing is mostly reference-based, i.e. they require the availability of one identity to recover the other. Sudipta et al. \cite{ref9} proposed a reference-free de-morphing technique but the visual realism of outputs produced were feeble. In this work, we propose SDeMorph (Stably Diffused De-morpher), a novel de-morphing method that is reference-free and recovers the identities of bona fides. Our method produces feature-rich outputs that are of significantly high quality in terms of definition and facial fidelity. Our method utilizes Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) by destroying the input morphed signal and then reconstructing it back using a branched-UNet. Experiments on ASML, FRLL-FaceMorph, FRLL-MorDIFF, and SMDD datasets support the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  We introduce a morph generation method that can approximate worst-case morphs even when the Face Recognition system is not known. Our method is based on Adversarially Learned Inference (ALI) and uses concepts from Wasserstein GANs trained with Gradient Penalty. We show how our findings can be used to improve MIPGAN, an existing StyleGAN-based morph generator.

  Face anti-spoofing (FAS) plays a vital role in preventing face recognition systems from presentation attacks.

We propose Dual Spoof Disentanglement Generation framework to tackle this challenge by "anti-spoofing via generation"

  A lifespan face synthesis (LFS) model aims to generate a set of photo-realistic face images of a person's whole life, given only one snapshot as reference. The generated face image given a target age code is expected to be age-sensitive reflected by bio-plausible transformations of shape and texture. This is achieved by extracting shape, texture and identity features separately from an encoder.
