Abstract

This online lecture will be divided into two parts. In part I, I will report the current research progress in two important areas in face biometrics system security, namely 3D facial mask presentation attack detection, and face template protection. It will take about 30 mins. Since this is an online lecture, I would reserve more time for Part II -- questions and answers so as to have more interactions. You may send me the questions in advance or during the lecture.
