Fingerprint-based biometric systems have grown rapidly as they are used for various applications including mobile payments, international border security, and financial transactions. The widespread nature of these systems renders them vulnerable to presentation attacks. Hence, improving the generalization ability of fingerprint presentation attack detection (PAD) in cross-sensor and cross-material setting is of primary importance. In this work, we propose a solution based on a transformers and generative adversarial networks (GANs). Our aim is to reduce the distribution shift between fingerprint representations coming from multiple target sensors. In the experiments, we validate the proposed methodology on the public LivDet2015 dataset provided by the liveness detection competition. The experimental results show that the proposed architecture yields an increase in average classification accuracy from 68.52% up to 83.12% after adaptation.
