1Reliability

If single modality (image or video) is used for face spoofing detection, then the system complexity is low, but the detection accuracy and reliability are insufficient against advanced spoofing techniques

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines image and video modalities into a unified detection framework. The system processes both static image features and temporal video features simultaneously, merging their complementary information to achieve more reliable spoofing detection. This is implemented through a joint training approach where the model learns from both modalities together, allowing the system to leverage the strengths of each modality while compensating for their individual weaknesses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The detection system is designed to handle multiple types of spoofing attacks across different modalities. By creating a universal model that can process both image and video inputs, the system achieves multi-functionality in detecting various spoofing techniques including Deepfakes, 3D masks, and replay attacks. This universal approach allows a single system to address diverse threats without requiring separate specialized detectors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If single modality detection is used, then the model training is simple, but the model accuracy and ability to distinguish real from spoofed faces is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from single-modality detection to multi-modality detection by adding the temporal dimension through video data. This dimensional expansion allows the model to capture not only spatial features from images but also temporal dynamics from video sequences. The model learns to detect spoofing artifacts that manifest across time, such as inconsistent facial movements, lighting changes, and physiological signal variations, thereby significantly improving detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The detection model is constructed as a composite system that integrates features from both image and video modalities. Similar to composite materials combining different substances to achieve superior properties, this composite model combines the strengths of image-based static analysis and video-based temporal analysis. The joint training process creates a unified feature representation that leverages complementary information from both modalities, resulting in a model with enhanced detection capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
