Face anti-spoofing is essential to prevent face recognition systems from a security breach.  Although face anti-spoofing detection methods have been proposed so far, the problem is still unsolved due to the difficulty on the design of features and methods for spoof attacks.  In order to push the techniques of face anti-spoofing. We organize some face anti-spoofing challenges.
