Recent Advances in Detecting Manipulation Attacks on Biometric Systems
(ADMA-2023) IJCB 2023 - Special Session
Manipulated attacks in biometrics via modified images/videos and other
material-based techniques such as presentation attacks and deep fakes have
become a tremendous threat to the security world owing to increasingly
realistic spoofing methods. Hence, such manipulations have triggered the
need for research attention towards robust and reliable methods for
detecting biometric manipulation attacks. The recent inclusion of
manipulation/generation methods such as auto-encoder and generative
adversarial network approaches combined with accurate localisation and
perceptual learning objectives added an extra challenge to such
manipulation detection tasks. Due to this, the performance of existing
state-of-the-art manipulation detection methods significantly degrades in
unknown scenarios. Apart from this, real-time processing, manipulation on
low-quality medium, limited availability of data, and inclusion of these
manipulation detection techniques for forensic investigation are yet to be
widely explored. Hence, this special session aims to profile recent
developments and push the border of the digital manipulation detection
technique on biometric systems.
We invite practitioners, researchers and engineers from biometrics, signal
processing, material science, mathematics, computer vision and machine
learning to contribute their expertise to underpin the highlighted
challenges. Further, this special session promotes cross-disciplinary
research by inviting the partitioner in the field of psychology where one
can perform the human observer (or super-recogniser) analysis to detect
attacks.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
             Deepfake manipulation and detection technique
             Novel generalised PAD to unknown attacks
             Image manipulation techniques datasets
             Database in image and video manipulation, and attacks
             Privacy-preserving techniques in digital manipulation attack
detection
             Image and video synthesis in PAD
             Image and video manipulation generation and detection
             Human observer analysis in detecting the manipulated
biometric images
             Novel sensors for detecting manipulated attacks
             Bias analyses and mitigation in attack detection algorithms
