Submission Requirements – Part 2

Guidelines for submitting complete face recognition systems for the LivDet Face 2026 competition.

Participation – Part 2: Systems

Participants interested in the Systems track must submit a complete face recognition system capable of performing presentation attack detection (PAD).

Data Sharing Agreement

  • A data-sharing agreement must be signed by both the participants and the organizers before any validation sample data exchange.
  • The LivDet-Face team will run the submitted executable application on sequestered datasets.
  • The evaluation datasets may contain attack types that are different from those provided.

System Submission

Participants must arrange for their face recognition system to be submitted to Clarkson University, NY, USA. Please contact the organizers at livdetface2026@gmail.com to coordinate the logistics of system testing.

Submission Options

  • Option A: Full hardware capture system with integrated PAD software.
  • Option B: Software or application capable of running on a mobile device or computer. Compatibility with available devices must be discussed with the organizers.
  • Option C: The system should capture a face image and produce a log file containing PAD scores.

README Requirements

The submission must include a README file containing:

  • Detailed instructions for running the algorithm or system.
  • Clear description of the required input and expected output.
  • Any additional parameters or instructions needed to initiate testing and obtain the PAD scores.

Following these submission guidelines will help ensure efficient and accurate evaluation of the PAD systems.
