Algorithm fusion is frequently employed to improve the accuracy of pattern recognition tasks. This particularly applies to biometrics including attack detection mechanisms. In this work, we apply a fusion of two differential morphing attack detection methods, i.e. Demorphing and Deep Face Representations. Experiments are performed in a cross-database scenario using high-quality face morphs along with realistic live captures. Obtained results reveal that a weighted sum-based score-level fusion of Demorphing and Deep Face Representations improves the morphing attack detection accuracy. With the proposed fusion, a detection equal error rate of 4.9% is achieved, compared to detection equal error rates of 5.6% and 5.8% of the best individual morphing attack detection methods, respectively.
