       abstract = {The vulnerability against presentation attacks is
a crucial problem undermining the wide-deployment of face
recognition systems. Though presentation attack detection (PAD)
systems try to address this problem, the lack of generalization
and robustness continues to be a major concern. Several works
have shown that using multi-channel PAD systems could alleviate
this vulnerability and result in more robust systems. However,
there is a wide selection of channels available for a PAD system
such as RGB, Near Infrared, Shortwave Infrared, Depth, and
Thermal sensors. Having a lot of sensors increases the cost of
the system, and therefore an understanding of the performance
of different sensors against a wide variety of attacks is necessary
while selecting the modalities. In this work, we perform a
comprehensive study to understand the effectiveness of various
imaging modalities for PAD. The studies are performed on a
multi-channel PAD dataset, collected with 14 different sensing
modalities considering a wide range of 2D, 3D, and partial
attacks. We used the multi-channel convolutional network-based
architecture, which uses pixel-wise binary supervision. The model
has been evaluated with different combinations of channels, and
different image qualities on a variety of challenging known and
unknown attack protocols. The results reveal interesting trends
and can act as pointers for sensor selection for safety-critical
presentation attack detection systems. The source codes and
protocols to reproduce the results are made available publicly
making it possible to extend this work to other architectures.},
