Abstract

„This work investigates the use of synthetic face data to enhance Single image-based Morphing Attack Detection (S-MAD). We are addressing the limitations of the availability of large-scale datasets of bona fide images due to privacy concerns. Various morphing tools and cross-dataset evaluation schemes were utilized to conduct this study. An incremental testing protocol was implemented to assess the generalization capabilities, adding more synthetic images per training round. The results of the experiments show that generalization can be improved by carefully incorporating a controlled number of synthetic images. However, indiscriminate use of synthetic data can lead to suboptimal outcomes.“
