An anti-spoofing authentication system includes an image capture device that converts received light into an image signal representing a captured image; a microphone that converts sound wave into a voice signal; a face detection device that detects a human face on the captured image, the face detection device including a lip detection device that detects lip features associated with the detected human face; a voice activity detection (VAD) device that detects presence of human voice in the voice signal; and an anti-spoofing device that detects a spoofing attack according to the detected lip features and the detected human voice.

Anti-spoofing authentication system

A sound source localization system includes a microphone array composed of a plurality of microphones each converting sound wave into a corresponding voice signal; a room shape estimator that determines a room shape including a location map and a corresponding template voice feature map composed of template voice features associated with a virtual sound source disposed at different locations respectively, and outputs a room reliability indicating confidence about the determined room shape; a lookup table (LUT) that pre-stores the location map and the corresponding template voice feature map; and a localizer that determines a location of a sound source according to the room reliability and similarity between a voice feature associated with the sound source and the template voice features of the template voice feature map.
