This is the official repository of the paper: Unsupervised Face Morphing Attack Detection via Self-paced Anomaly Detection, accepted at IJCB2022.

We studied the behavior of unsupervised anomaly detection through reconstruction error analyses on MAD data. Our study revealed that morphing attacks are more straightforward to reconstruct than bona fide samples when the reconstruction is learned on general face data. Then, we leverage the above-stated observation to present a novel unsupervised MAD solution via an adapted self-paced anomaly detection, namely SPL-MAD. The adapted SPL paradigm proved helpful in neglecting the suspicious unlabeled data in training and thus enhancing the reconstruction gap between bona fide and attack samples, leading to improving the generalizability of the MAD model.

CASIA-WebFace: The CASIA-WebFace dataset is used for face verification and face identification tasks. The dataset contains 494,414 face images of 10,575 real identities collected from the web.

SMDD: SMDD is a synthetic face morphing attack detection development dataset. Additional morphing attack data is used as data containimitaion in our case. SMDD can be downloaded via SMDD Github.

Example of training:

python train.py \
  --train_csv 'training_data.csv' \

where training_data.csv contains image path.

Example of testing:

python train.py \
  --test_csv 'test_data.csv' \
  --model_path 'casia_smdd.pth'

where test_data.csv contains image path and the corresponding label (bonafide or attack).

The model trained on CAISA-WebFace and the training set of SMDD can be download via google driver. More information and small test can be found in test.py. Please make sure give the correct model path.
