The 6th Face Anti-Spoofing Workshop: Unified Physical-Digital Attacks Detection@ICCV2025
Introduction
In recent years, the growing sophistication of face spoofing techniques has significantly threatened the security of face recognition systems. Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS) has thus become a critical component in ensuring the reliability of biometric authentication. To stimulate research in this area, we have organized five successful editions of the Face Anti-Spoofing Workshop and Challenge at major conferences, including CVPR 2019, CVPR 2020, ICCV 2021, CVPR 2023, and CVPR 2024, attracting over 1,400 participating teams from academia and industry. However, unified detection of both physical and digital attacks remains a major challenge. While physical presentation attacks such as print, replay, and 3D mask attacks typically introduce artifacts like color distortion and moiré patterns, digital forgeries—including identity manipulations, adversarial examples, and GAN-based generation—alter facial imagery at the pixel level in often imperceptible ways. Existing solutions still treat these as separate tasks, hindering the development of generalizable models. To address this gap, the 6th Face Anti-Spoofing Workshop@ICCV 2025 introduces the task of Unified Physical-Digital Attack Detection and releases a significantly expanded dataset, UniAttackData+. We collected data from 2,875 participants representing three distinct ethnic groups (i.e., African, East Asian, and Central Asian), capturing 18,250 authentic videos under various lighting conditions, backgrounds, and acquisition devices. For each participant, we applied 54 different attack methods, including 14 physical attacks and 40 digital attacks, resulting in a total of 679,097 forged videos.

Keynote Speakers:
Pong C Yuen received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from The University of Hong Kong. He joined the Hong Kong Baptist University in 1993, served as the Head of Department of Computer Science from 2011 – 2017 and Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning) of Faculty of Science from 2018-2024. Currently, he is a Chair Professor in Computer Science, Hong Kong Baptist University.
Over the years, Dr. Yuen has spent his sabbatical and visited a number of universities/research institutes as a visiting professor/scholar, including The University of Sydney (Australia), The University of Maryland at College Park (USA), INRIA Rhone Alpes (France), ETH Zurich (Switzerland), and The University of Bologna (Italy). Dr. Yuen was the director of Croucher Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on biometric authentication in 2004 and the director of Croucher ASI on Biometric Security and Privacy in 2007. He has been serving as the Director of IAPR/IEEE Winter School on Biometrics since 2017.
Zhen Lei is a Professor at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA), and a Researcher at the Hong Kong Institute of Innovation and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research focuses on face recognition, image and video analysis, and artificial intelligence.
He received the 2019 IAPR Young Biometrics Investigator Award, and has won the National Science and Technology Progress Award (Second Prize, 2019) and the China Institute of Electronics Technological Invention Award (First Prize, 2021). Prof. Lei has published over 200 papers in top venues like TPAMI, CVPR, and AAAI, with 21,000+ citations and an H-index of 70. He holds 22 patents, has authored 8 national and industry standards, and frequently receives top honors at international conferences and competitions.
Siwei Lyu (pending) is a SUNY Distinguished Professor and Empire Innovation Professor at the University at Buffalo, where he directs the UB Media Forensic Lab and co-directs the Center for Information Integrity. His research focuses on media forensics, computer vision, and machine learning.
He has published over 240 papers and received funding from NSF, DARPA, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. His honors include the NSF CAREER Award, IEEE Best Paper Award, and the Google Faculty Research Award. Dr. Lyu is a Fellow of IEEE, IAPR, and AAIA, and a Distinguished Member of ACM.
