Currently, biometric recognition systems, especially facial recognition systems, are frequently used for person authentication. Increasing facial image and video sharing on social media makes these systems vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, there is an increasing need for sensitive face presentation attack (FPA) detection systems. In this paper, a lightweight multi-input hybrid deep convolutional neural network model was proposed for FPA detection. For this purpose, a simplified version of the widely used Xception network was developed. This model was extended via squeeze and excitation blocks to weight the data in the feature encoding channels. In addition, a simple residual network architecture with attention blocks was designed. The FPA detection performances of these models were subsequently examined in cases where the input data consisted of the raw images or cropped facial images. According to the results, a deep learning architecture with three parallel connections was proposed. The raw images, cropped facial images, and face-weighted multi-color multi-level local binary pattern features were given as inputs to the proposed model. Therefore, a multi-input hybrid FPA detection model was created using both hand-crafted features and deep features. The proposed architecture has approximately 82% fewer parameters than the original Xception network does. The experimental results on the benchmark CASIA and REPLAY-ATTACK datasets demonstrate the model's effectiveness, achieving a 1.53% equal error rate (EER) on the CASIA dataset and 0.00% EER with a 0.07% half total error rate (HTER) on the REPLAY-ATTACK dataset. These results outperform many state-of-the-art methods while requiring significantly fewer computational resources, making the approach suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments.

Today, face recognition systems are widely used in many areas that require biometric-based verification, especially because they are contactless and require low user cooperation. Despite their ease of implementation, these systems are vulnerable to attacks. Especially the increasing use of social media, makes it easier to spoof face recognition systems. Therefore, it is very important to develop new methods for Face Presentation Attack (FPA) detection. In this study, FPA detection performances of the lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models -MobileNetV3-Small, ShuffleNet, SqueezeNet- and lightweight hybrid CNN models designed with combinations of these networks were investigated. In the experiments, the change in FPA detection performance was examined by giving the cropped face regions and the whole images as input to the networks. Using the whole image instead of the cropped face region significantly improved the FPA detection performance of the CNN models. These results showed that non-facial areas carry important information in FPA detection. Also, the FPA detection performance of the proposed lightweight hybrid CNN models were better than the single use of the networks for both inputs. 0.17% HTER performance was achieved with the hybrid CNN model built from the combination of ShuffleNet + SqueezeNet on the Replay-Attack dataset.
