Security systems that use face recognition are vulnerable to spoofing attacks where unauthorized individuals use a photo or video of authorized users. In this work, we propose a method to detect a face spoofing attack with a video of an authorized person. The proposed method uses three sequential frames in the video to extract features by using Fourier Transform and Dense-SIFT filter. Then, classification is completed with a Support Vector Machine (SVM). Experimental results with a database of 200 valid and 200 spoof video clips showed 99% detection accuracy. The proposed method uses simplified features that require fewer memory and computational overhead while showing a high spoofing detection accuracy.
