Face anti-spoofing (FAS) detection is essential for assuring the safety and dependability of facial identification systems. This study introduces the implementation of a new approach called Spoof-formerNet, which utilizes the high-resolution vision transformer (HR-ViT) system for detecting face anti-spoofing. The Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture has revealed remarkable execution in numerous computer vision applications, and we are now applying it to the intricate field of spoof detection. In order to distinguish between real faces and spoofing attempts, the Spoof-formerNet is engineered to detect minute details and subtle elements embedded in facial photos. We have conducted experimental research wherein the model is trained independently on color (RGB) and depth data in parallel using two streams of HR-ViT networks. Before applying to a classification head, the features from the two streams were concatenated. Spoof-formerNet is trained and tested using well-known benchmark datasets such as CelebA-Spoof, CASIA-SURF, WMCA, and MSU-MFSD, which are commonly used in the field of anti-face spoofing. The suggested model excels in performance and is cutting-edge in identifying genuine faces from spoofing assaults. We assess the model's efficacy by providing comprehensive findings, such as Area Under the Curve (AUC), Attack Presentation Classification Error Rate (APCER), Bona Fide Presentation Classification Error Rate (BPCER), Equal Error Rate (EER), and Average Classification Error Rate (ACER). The results of this work show how cascaded high-resolution vision transformer networks can be used to improve the safety of facial recognition approaches in real-world applications, in addition to advancing facial anti-spoofing technology. The Spoof-formerNet method for face anti-spoofing detection shows good results, with an average AUC of 99.22 and average APCER, BPCER, and ACER of 0.95, 0.66, and 0.81 correspondingly.
