Is it true that smartphone facial recognition can be fooled by a photograph?
Yes. One peer-reviewed paper states directly that face recognition systems, including smartphone locks, can easily be fooled by photographs of a person. Two further papers on anti-spoofing describe smartphone face recognition as vulnerable to printed-photo presentation attacks.
