DINO-VPT: Hierarchical Visual Prompt Tuning for Joint Physical-Digital Face Anti-Spoofing

With the increasing diversity of spoofing attacks, there is a growing demand for unified Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS) models capable of detecting both physical and digital threats. While existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate high generalization in this context, they heavily rely on complex multimodal fusion and external text encoders. In this paper, we propose DINO-VPT, a lightweight, vision-only framework leveraging hierarchical visual prompt tuning. By dynamically injecting prompts conditioned on input features via a Prompt Routing Network (PRN), our method effectively disentangles diverse spoofing artifacts without requiring multimodal fusion. Evaluations on the UniAttackData benchmark demonstrate that DINO-VPT achieves higher accuracy than state-of-the-art VLM-based methods. Our results indicate that a properly structured vision-only architecture can achieve state-of-the-art performance in unified FAS without the need for multimodal supervision.

Leveraging Intermediate Features of Vision Transformer for Face Anti-Spoofing

Face recognition systems are designed to be robust against changes in head pose, illumination, and blurring during image capture. If a malicious person presents a face photo of the registered user, they may bypass the authentication process illegally. Such spoofing attacks need to be detected before face recognition. In this paper, we propose a spoofing attack detection method based on Vision Transformer (ViT) to detect minute differences between live and spoofed face images. The proposed method utilizes the intermediate features of ViT, which have a good balance between local and global features that are important for spoofing attack detection, for calculating loss in training and score in inference. The proposed method also introduces two data augmentation methods: face anti-spoofing data augmentation and patch-wise data augmentation, to improve the accuracy of spoofing attack detection. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments using the OULU-NPU and SiW datasets.
