Abstract	In this paper, we present a new approach for liveness verification in facial recognition systems. While face recognition techniques are developing rapidly, a threat of cheating becomes more dangerous. It was shown that industrial systems can be easily deceived using a photo of a person?s face, if they don?t have impostor detection mechanism. We propose a method to recognize this type of attacks based on facial features tracking. Using 2D facial features tracking it is able to distinguish motions of a real 3-dimensional object from a planar analogue (photo). Our system prototype has shown the ability to distinguish a photo from a live person?s face in a video sequence. Our method adds very little computational overhead because facial features tracking is an inherent part of facial recognition systems.
