NIST unmasks results of presentation attack detection and image defect software testing

Two publications from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shed light on the current state of software designed to detect facial recognition spoof attacks and facial image defects.

The two publications are the first on the subject to appear since NIST divided its Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) program into two tracks: Face Recognition Technology Evaluation (FRTE) and Face Analysis Technology Evaluation (FATE).

Face analysis is distinct from facial recognition in that facial …
