Avant-garde

As it’s name suggests, the avant-garde module is the entry point of the liveness pipeline. It’s invoked to check whether it is worth calling the full liveness pipeline or not.

Let’s say the image depicts a person holding a phone with a face on it. It’s not worth trying to run the full liveness pipeline, we tag the image as spoof and that’s it. The avant-garde module supports multiple other complex scenarios we can’t mention here for security reasons.

Next image shows a scenario depicting an image caught by avant-garde.
