Face Liveness Detection (Anti-Spoofing) Web App

A Streamlit WebRTC web app that can identify whether a face comes from a real person or a fake person and prevents the system from giving false verification.

Inspiration

https://github.com/jomariya23156/face-recognition-with-liveness-web-login

I would highly suggest all of you to take a look at this wonderful repo which served as the inspiration for my project.

Drawback of approach

The drawback of the approach taken by jomariya23156 is that although he claims that it is a web app it cannot be used in a server-client scenario as it lacks basic webrtc features.
