Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential feature points needed for liveness detection from the full image, rather than processing the entire image. By selecting key feature points (such as facial landmarks) and using them for transform function calculation, the system reduces the data volume and computational load while maintaining detection accuracy, thus solving the resource constraint problem on edge devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation from full image data to discrete feature point coordinates. By transforming the liveness detection problem from image-level processing to feature point-level processing, the computational complexity is significantly reduced, enabling implementation on resource-constrained edge devices while preserving spoofing detection capability
