Description

Is it possible to detect if the face in front of the camera is blinking his/her eyes? This will really help to mitigate simple loopholes like using a life-size image of a person, especially when camera lacks IR.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Integrate eye blink detection using facial landmark detection (e.g., dlib or mediapipe) and compute eye aspect ratio (EAR). Then modify the authentication flow to require blink detection when the camera lacks IR.
