Abstract

Face recognition by human officials remains the predominant method of identity verification in security-critical contexts (e.g., passport renewal, border control). The integrity of this process can be compromised by sophisticated fraud attacks using digitally manipulated face images. In this study we examine whether human observers can robustly detect digitally manipulated passport photos and whether super-recognisers (SRs), individuals who excel at identity recognition, outperform typical recogniser controls. Here, we present some findings from the initial analysis.
