Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a technology of more accurately detecting spoofing in face authentication, without increasing a scale of a device configuration and a burden on a user. A spoofing detection device includes a facial image sequence acquisition unit, a line-of-sight change detection unit, a presentation information display unit, and a spoofing determination unit. The facial image sequence acquisition unit acquires a facial image sequence indicating the face of a user. The line-of-sight change detection unit detects information about a temporal change in the line-of-sight from the facial image sequence. The presentation information display unit displays presentation information presented to the user as part of an authentication process. The spoofing determination unit determines the likelihood of the face indicated by the facial image sequence being spoofing on the basis of the information about the temporal change in the line-of-sight with respect to the presentation information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A face detection device comprising: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform: acquiring a facial image sequence indicating a user's face; displaying presentation information on a display device and changing a position of the presentation information on a screen of the display device; detecting, from the facial image sequence, a direction of line-of-sight of the user; and determining a face of the user indicated by the facial image sequence is a living face, in accordance with relationship between temporal change of the direction of the line-of-sight of the user and the change of the position of the presentation information on the screen of the display device. 2 . The face detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the presentation information includes textual information. 3 . The face detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the presentation information includes a diagram. 4 . The face detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform: determining a display timing and a display position of the presentation information at random. 5 . The face detection device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform: determining the face of the user is a living face, in accordance with relationship between (i) the temporal change of the direction of the line-of-sight of the user and a temporal change of position coordinates of a point on a screen of the display device closely watched by the user, and (ii) the change of the position of the presentation information on the screen of the display device. 6 . A face detection method comprising: acquiring a facial image sequence indicating a user's face; displaying presentation information on a display device and changing a position of the presentation information on a screen of the display device; detecting, from the facial image sequence, a direction of line-of-sight of the user; and determining a face of the user indicated by the facial image sequence is a living face, in accordance with relationship between temporal change of the direction of the line-of-sight of the user and the change of the position of the presentation information on the screen of the display device. 7 . The face detection method according to claim 6 , wherein the presentation information includes textual information. 8 . The face detection method according to claim 6 , wherein the presentation information includes a diagram. 9 . The face detection method according to claim 6 , comprising: determining a display timing and a display position of the presentation information at random. 10 . The face detection method according to claim 6 , comprising: determining the face of the user is a living face, in accordance with relationship between (i) the temporal change of the direction of the line-of-sight of the user and a temporal change of position coordinates of a point on a screen of the display device closely watched by the user, and (ii) the change of the position of the presentation information on the screen of the display device. 11 . A non-transitory recording medium storing a program causing a computer to perform: acquiring a facial image sequence indicating a user's face; displaying presentation information on a display device and changing a position of the presentation information on a screen of the display device; detecting, from the facial image sequence, a direction of line-of-sight of the user; and determining a face of the user indicated by the facial image sequence is a living face, in accordance with relationship between temporal change of the direction of the line-of-sight of the user and the change of the position of the presentation information on the screen of the display device. 12 . The recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein the presentation information includes textual information. 13 . The recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein the presentation information includes a diagram. 14 . The recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program causes the computer to perform: determining a display timing and a display position of the presentation information at random. 15 . The recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program causes the computer to perform: determining the face of the user is a living face, in accordance with relationship between (i) the temporal change of the direction of the line-of-sight of the user and a temporal change of position coordinates of a point on a screen of the display device closely watched by the user, and (ii) the change of the position of the presentation information on the screen of the display device.
