This camera is widely utilized from 3D reconstruction to face and iris recognition. In this paper, we suggest a novel approach for defending spoofing face attacks, like printed 2D facial photos (hereinafter 2D photos) and HD tablet images, using the light field camera. By viewing the raw light field photograph from a different standpoint, we extract two special features which cannot be obtained from the conventional camera. To verify the performance, we compose light field photograph databases and conduct experiments. Our proposed method achieves at least 94.78% accuracy or up to 99.36% accuracy under different types of spoofing attacks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s141222471","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,27]],"date-time":"2014-11-27T10:41:20Z","timestamp":1417084880000},"page":"22471-22499","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Face Liveness Detection Using a Light Field Camera"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Sooyeon","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Yonsei University, 134 Shinchon-Dong, Seodaemun-Gu, Seoul 120-749, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuseok","family":"Ban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Yonsei University, 134 Shinchon-Dong, Seodaemun-Gu, Seoul 120-749, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sangyoun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Yonsei University, 134 Shinchon-Dong, Seodaemun-Gu, Seoul 120-749, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Li, S.Z., and Jain, A.K.
