About this paper

Tyler Fitzsimmons, Adam Czajka

Ghost Attack blends a displayed target face with a face image using reflected light before capture. The authors evaluate this optical mixture against open-source face matchers, presentation-attack detection, and morph-attack detection in a controlled lab. At a 5% false-match-rate threshold, ArcFace accepts 32.75% of attack frames; results vary by threshold and do not establish performance for commercial systems or human subjects.
