Abstract

Face spoofing detection is critical for biometric security systems to prevent unauthorized access. This study proposes a deep learning-based approach integrating FaceNet and DenseNet201 to enhance face spoofing detection performance. FaceNet generates identity-based embeddings, ensuring robust facial feature representation, while DenseNet201 extracts complementary texture-based features. These features are fused using the Concatenate function to form a more comprehensive representation for im-proved classification. The proposed method is evaluated on two widely used face spoofing datasets, NUAA Photograph Imposter and LCC-FASD, achieving 100% accuracy on NUAA and 99% on LCC-FASD. Ablation studies reveal that data augmentation does not always enhance performance, particularly on high-complexity datasets such as LCC-FASD, where augmentation increases the False Rejection Rate (FRR). Conversely, DenseNet201 benefits more from augmentation, while the proposed method performs best without augmentation. Comparative analysis with previous studies further confirms the superiority of the proposed approach in reducing error rates, particularly Half Total Error Rate (HTER), False Acceptance Rate (FAR), and FRR. These findings indicate that combining identity-based embeddings and texture-based feature extraction significantly improves spoofing detection and enhances model robustness across different attack scenarios. This study advances biometric security by introducing an efficient feature fusion strategy that strengthens deep learning-based spoof detection. Future research may explore further optimization strategies and evaluate the approach on more diverse datasets to enhance generalization.
