contents Face morphing attacks circumvent face recognition systems (FRSs) by creating a morphed image that contains multiple identities. However, existing face morphing attack methods either sacrifice image quality or compromise the identity preservation capability. Consequently, these attacks fail to bypass FRSs verification well while still managing to deceive human observers. These methods typically rely on global information from contributing images, ignoring the detailed information from effective facial regions. To address the above issues, we propose a novel morphing attack method to improve the quality of morphed images and better preserve the contributing identities. Our proposed method leverages the hierarchical generative network to capture both local detailed and global consistency information. Additionally, a mask-guided image blending module is dedicated to removing artifacts from areas outside the face to improve the image's visual quality. The proposed attack method is compared to state-of-the-art methods on three public datasets in terms of FRSs' vulnerability, attack detectability, and image quality. The results show our method's potential threat of deceiving FRSs while being capable of passing multiple morphing attack detection (MAD) scenarios.
