Individual identification process is a very significant process that resides a large portion of day by day usages. Identification process is appropriate in work place, private zones, banks …etc. Individuals are rich subject having many characteristics that can be used for recognition purpose such as finger vein, iris, face …etc. Finger vein and iris key-points are considered as one of the most talented biometric authentication techniques for its security and convenience. SIFT is new and talented technique for pattern recognition. However, some shortages exist in many related techniques, such as difficulty of feature loss, feature key extraction, and noise point introduction. In this manuscript a new technique named SIFT-based iris and SIFT-based finger vein identification with normalization and enhancement is proposed for achieving better performance. In evaluation with other SIFT-based iris or SIFT-based finger vein recognition algorithms, the suggested technique can overcome the difficulties of tremendous key-point extraction and exclude the noise points without feature loss. Experimental results demonstrate that the normalization and improvement steps are critical for SIFT-based recognition for iris and finger vein , and the proposed technique can accomplish satisfactory recognition performance.

Finger vein recognition refers to a recent biometric technique which exploits the vein patterns in the human finger to identify individuals. Finger vein recognition faces a number of challenges. One critical issue is the performance of finger vein recognition system. To overcome this problem, a finger vein recognition algorithm based on one kind of subspace projection technology is presented. Firstly, we use Kapur entropy threshold method to achieve the purpose of intercepting region of finger under contactless mode. Then the finger vein features were extracted by 2DPCA method. Finally, we used of nearest neighbor distance classifier for matching. The results indicate that the algorithm has good recognition performance.

The conventional finger-vein recognition system is trained using one type of database and entails the serious problem of performance degradation when tested with different types of databases. This degradation is caused by changes in image characteristics due to variable factors such as position of camera, finger, and lighting. Therefore, each database has varying characteristics despite the same finger-vein modality. However, previous researches on improving the recognition accuracy of unobserved or heterogeneous databases is lacking. To overcome this problem, we propose a method to improve the finger-vein recognition accuracy using domain adaptation between heterogeneous databases using cycle-consistent adversarial networks (CycleGAN), which enhances the recognition accuracy of unobserved data. The experiments were performed with two open databases—Shandong University homologous multi-modal traits finger-vein database (SDUMLA-HMT-DB) and Hong Kong Polytech University finger-image database (HKPolyU-DB). They showed that the equal error rate (EER) of finger-vein recognition was 0.85% in case of training with SDUMLA-HMT-DB and testing with HKPolyU-DB, which had an improvement of 33.1% compared to the second best method. The EER was 3.4% in case of training with HKPolyU-DB and testing with SDUMLA-HMT-DB, which also had an improvement of 4.8% compared to the second best method.

Nowadays, individual identification is a problem in many private companies, but also in governmental and public order entities. Currently, there are multiple biometric methods, each with different advantages. Finger vein recognition is a modern biometric technique, which has several advantages, especially in terms of security and accuracy. However, image deformations and time efficiency are two of the major limitations of state-of-the-art contributions. In spite of affine transformations produced during the acquisition process, the geometric structure of finger vein images remains invariant. This consideration of the symmetry phenomena presented in finger vein images is exploited in the present work. We combine an image enhancement procedure, the DAISY descriptor, and an optimized Coarse-to-fine PatchMatch (CPM) algorithm under a multicore parallel platform, to develop a fast finger vein recognition method for real-time individuals identification. Our proposal provides an effective and efficient technique to obtain the displacement between finger vein images and considering it as discriminatory information. Experimental results on two well-known databases, PolyU and SDUMLA, show that our proposed approach achieves results comparable to deformation-based techniques of the state-of-the-art, finding statistical differences respect to non-deformation-based approaches. Moreover, our method highly outperforms the baseline method in time efficiency.

— The demand for simple, convenient and high security authentication systems protecting private information is rising with the development of improved consumer electronic devices. In existing systems cards, pin numbers and passwords are used for authentication. However theft of cards and guessing of pin numbers and passwords by exploiters is a serial threat. Hence the need to protect private information by means of biometric solutions is very essential. The proposed system finger vein recognition system is a biometric authentication system. The maximum curvature method of feature extraction used here extracts the centrelines without being affected by fluctuations in vein width and brightness. The results of processing are sent using GSM to owners or administrators. The system can be used for application such as bank ATM identification and verification, automatic door locking control systems and automated attendance register system.

Classifier combination is an effective method to improve the recognition accuracy of a biometric system. It has been applied to many practical biometric systems and achieved excellent performance. However, there is little literature involving theoretical analysis on the effectiveness of classifier combination. In this paper, we investigate classifiers combined with the max and min rules. In particular, we compute the recognition performance of each combined classifier, and illustrate the condition in which the combined classifier outperforms the original unimodal classifier. We focus our study on personal verification, where the input pattern is classified into one of two categories, the genuine or the impostor. For simplicity, we further assume that the matching score produced by the original classifier follows a normal distribution and the outputs of different classifiers are independent and identically distributed. Randomly-generated data are employed to test our conclusion. The influence of finite samples is explored at the same time. Moreover, an iris recognition system, which adopts multiple snapshots to identify a subject, is introduced as a practical application of the above discussions.

Finger vein pattern, as a promising hand-based biometric technology, has been well studied in recent years. In this paper, a new superpixel-based finger vein recognition method is presented. In the proposed method, we develop two types of effective superpixels, i.e. stable superpixel and discriminative superpixel to represent finger vein image and these superpixels are expected to play different roles in matching stage. In detail, the stable and discriminative superpixels are firstly learned from the training images for each enrolled class. When verifying a testing image, we just compare the superpixels at the same location as the two types of superpixels in template. Then, the two types of superpixels are combined utilizing a reversible weight-based fusion method in score level. Additionally, to further improve the recognition performance, we explore the superpixel context feature (SPCF). For each superpixel the SPCF is obtained by comparing the current superpixel with its surrounding neighbors. In the final matching stage, we integrate the matching score of two types of superpixels and it of the SPCF using the weighted SUM fusion method. The experimental results on two open finger vein databases, i.e. PolyU and SDUMLA-FV, show that our method not only performs better than the existing superpixel-based method, but also has advantages in comparison with some traditional ones.
