Talk Summary: While face recognition technology has been extensive 
deployed in many practical applications, research problems related to 
face presentation attack detection (PAD) are still unsolved. The popular 
face presentation attacks include images, videos and 3D masks. Among 
these, 3D mask presentation attacks are the most challenging because 
super realistic high-quality 3D facial masks can be created at a 
reasonable cost. One of the promising approaches in addressing 3D mask 
presentation attacks is remote photoplethysmography (rPPG). In this 
talk, I will share my research journey on face presentation attack 
detection from 2016 to present. The talk will first discuss the basic 
principle of using rPPG technology for face PAD, and discuss our 
proposed rPPG-based face PAD methods. The reliability of rPPG based face 
PAD methods relies on the quality of the estimated rPPG signals. I will 
also discuss the robustness of the rPPG estimation algorithms. Some 
comments and suggestions on future research will also be given at the 
end of the talk.
