Amazon Rekognition improves Face Liveness accuracy and user experience
Amazon Rekognition Face Liveness enables application providers to detect in real time if a user accessing a service is a real person or a bad actor attempting to spoof faces to impersonate another identity or evade being recognized. Face spoofs can be presentation attacks (e.g., printed photos presented to a camera) or digital injection attacks (e.g., deep fake videos using software to bypass the camera). Amazon has launched a new version of Rekognition Face Liveness, which improves the model accuracy in detecting attacks and provides a new user interface (UI) to streamline the experience for genuine users.
