Abstract
An apparatus for detecting morphed or averaged images, wherein the morphed or averaged images are synthetically generated images including information from two or more different source images corresponding to two or more subjects. The apparatus may include a feature extraction module for receiving an input image and outputting a set of descriptor feature(s) characteristic of the image and a classifier module configured to allocate the input image either to a first class indicating that the image has been morphed or averaged or a second class indicating that it has not been morphed or averaged, based on the descriptor feature(s). The feature extraction module may include a plurality of neural networks providing complementary descriptor feature(s) to the classifier module. The apparatus further may include a fusion module for combining descriptor feature data from each neural network and transmitting the fused feature data to the classifier module.
