Abstract

With the increasing diversity of spoofing attacks, there is a growing demand for unified Face Anti-Spoofing (FAS) models capable of detecting both physical and digital threats. While existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate high generalization in this context, they heavily rely on complex multimodal fusion and external text encoders. In this paper, we propose DINO-VPT, a lightweight, vision-only framework leveraging hierarchical visual prompt tuning. By dynamically injecting prompts conditioned on input features via a Prompt Routing Network (PRN), our method effectively disentangles diverse spoofing artifacts without requiring multimodal fusion. Evaluations on the UniAttackData benchmark demonstrate that DINO-VPT achieves higher accuracy than state-of-the-art VLM-based methods. Our results indicate that a properly structured vision-only architecture can achieve state-of-the-art performance in unified FAS without the need for multimodal supervision.
