Pulse-based PAD

In this section, we briefly describe our work made for face presentation attack detection using the blood volume pulse, inferred from remote photoplesthymograpy.

The basic idea here is to retrieve the pulse signals from face video sequences, to derive features from their frequency spectrum and then to learn a classifier to discriminate between bonafide attempts from presentation attacks.

For this purpose, we describe both bob.bio.base.preprocessor.Preprocessor and bob.bio.base.extractor.Extractor specifically dedicated to this task.

Preprocessors: Pulse Extraction

Preprocessors basically extract pulse signals from face video sequences. They heavily rely on what has been done in bob.rppg.base so you may want to have a look at its documentation.

In this package, 4 preprocessors have been implemented:

Extractors: Features from Pulses

Extractors compute and retrieve features from the pulse signal. All implemented extractors act on the frequency spectrum of the pulse signal.

In this package, 3 extractors have been implemented:
