Abstract
At present, ResNet and DenseNet have achieved significant performance gains in the field of finger-vein biometric recognition, which is partially attributed to the dominant design of cross-layer skip connection. In this manner, features from multiple layers can be effectively aggregated to provide sufficient discriminant representation. Nevertheless, an over-dense connection pattern may induce channel expansion of feature maps and excessive memory consumption. To address these issues, we proposed a low memory overhead and fairly lightweight network architecture for finger-vein recognition. The core components of the proposed network are a sequence of sparsified densely connected blocks with symmetric structure. In each block, a novel connection cropping strategy is adopted to balance the channel ratio of input/output feature maps. Beyond this, to facilitate smaller model volume and faster convergence, we substitute the standard convolutional kernels with separable convolutional kernels and introduce a robust loss metric that is defined on the geodesic distance of angular space. Our proposed sparsified densely connected network with separable convolution (hereinafter dubbed ‘SC-SDCN’) has been tested on two benchmark finger-vein datasets, including the Multimedia Lab of Chonbuk National University (MMCBNU)and Finger Vein of Universiti Sains Malaysia (FV-USM), and the advantages of our SC-SDCN can be evident from the experimental results. Specifically, an equal error rate (EER) of 0.01% and an accuracy of 99.98% are obtained on the MMCBNU dataset, and an EER of 0.45% and an accuracy of 99.74% are obtained on the FV-USM dataset.

An ROI Extraction Method of Finger Vein Images Based on Large Receptive Field Gradient Operator for Accurate Localization of Joint Cavity. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:9231637. [PMID: 35677780 PMCID: PMC9170421 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9231637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Region of interest (ROI) extraction is a key step in finger vein recognition preprocessing. The current method takes the finger region in the vein image as the ROI, but this method cannot obtain better recognition accuracy because it only removes the background noise of the image and ignores factors such as the position and shape of the finger. To solve this problem, we limited the ROI to a fixed region between two finger joint cavities, proposed a new large receptive field gradient operator, and designed and implemented a new method for ROI extraction. It uses a large receptive field to search the target, which is similar to human vision, thus solving the problem of difficult ROI localization for images with large gradient areas. Moreover, for external factors such as noise and uneven illumination in the vein image, the interference factors can be eliminated by averaging them to a larger range with a larger size operator to improve the accuracy of the subsequent matching recognition. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conducted sufficient matching experiments on three public finger vein datasets. On various datasets, our method significantly reduced the identified EER value, with the lowest EER value reaching 0.96%. The experimental results show that the proposed ROI extraction method can effectively eliminate the influence of finger position, finger shape, and other factors on the subsequent recognition performance, accurately locate the finger joint cavity, and effectively improve the recognition performance.

Abstract
As the second generation of biometric technology, finger vein recognition has become a research hotspot due to its advantages such as high security, and living body recognition. In recent years, the global pandemic has promoted the development of contactless identification. However, the unconstrained finger vein acquisition process will introduce more uneven illumination, finger image deformation, and some other factors that may affect the recognition, so it puts forward higher requirements for the acquisition speed, accuracy and other performance. Considering the universal, obvious, and stable characteristics of the original finger vein imaging, we proposed a new Region Of Interest (ROI) extraction method based on the characteristics of finger vein image, which contains three innovative elements: a horizontal Sobel operator with additional weights; an edge detection method based on finger contour imaging characteristics; a gradient detection operator based on large receptive field. The proposed methods were evaluated and compared with some representative methods by using four different public datasets of finger veins. The experimental results show that, compared with the existing representative methods, our proposed ROI extraction method is 1/10th of the processing time of the threshold-based methods, and it is similar to the time spent for coarse extraction in the mask-based methods. The ROI extraction results show that the proposed method has better robustness for different quality images. Moreover, the results of recognition matching experiments on different datasets indicate that our method achieves the best Equal Error Rate (EER) of 0.67% without the refinement of feature extraction parameters, and all the EERs are significantly lower than those of the representative methods.

A Novel Finger Vein Recognition Method Based on Aggregation of Radon-Like Features. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21051885. [PMID: 33800280 PMCID: PMC7962657 DOI: 10.3390/s21051885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 02/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Finger vein (FV) biometrics is one of the most promising individual recognition traits, which has the capabilities of uniqueness, anti-forgery, and bio-assay, etc. However, due to the restricts of imaging environments, the acquired FV images are easily degraded to low-contrast, blur, as well as serious noise disturbance. Therefore, how to extract more efficient and robust features from these low-quality FV images, remains to be addressed. In this paper, a novel feature extraction method of FV images is presented, which combines curvature and radon-like features (RLF). First, an enhanced vein pattern image is obtained by calculating the mean curvature of each pixel in the original FV image. Then, a specific implementation of RLF is developed and performed on the previously obtained vein pattern image, which can effectively aggregate the dispersed spatial information around the vein structures, thus highlight vein patterns and suppress spurious non-boundary responses and noises. Finally, a smoother vein structure image is obtained for subsequent matching and verification. Compared with the existing curvature-based recognition methods, the proposed method can not only preserve the inherent vein patterns, but also eliminate most of the pseudo vein information, so as to restore more smoothing and genuine vein structure information. In order to assess the performance of our proposed RLF-based method, we conducted comprehensive experiments on three public FV databases and a self-built FV database (which contains 37,080 samples that derived from 1030 individuals). The experimental results denoted that RLF-based feature extraction method can obtain more complete and continuous vein patterns, as well as better recognition accuracy.

Yao Q, Song D, Xu X. Robust Finger-vein ROI Localization Based on the 3 σ Criterion Dynamic Threshold Strategy. SENSORS 2020; 20:s20143997.

Abstract
Region of interest (ROI) localization is one of the key preprocessing technologies for a finger-vein identification system, so an effective ROI definition can improve the matching accuracy. However, due to the impact of uneven illumination, equipment noise, as well as the distortion of finger position, etc., these make accurate ROI localization a very difficult task. To address these issues, in this paper, we propose a robust finger-vein ROI localization method, which is based on the 3σ criterion dynamic threshold strategy. The proposed method includes three main steps: First, the Kirsch edge detector is introduced to detect the horizontal-like edges in the acquired finger-vein image. Then, the obtained edge gradient image is divided into four parts: upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, and lower-right. For each part of the image, the three-level dynamic threshold, which is based on the 3σ criterion of the normal distribution, is imposed to obtain more distinct and complete edge information. Finally, through labeling the longest connected component at the same horizontal line, two reliable finger boundaries, which represent the upper and lower boundaries, respectively, are defined, and the ROI is localized in the region between these two boundaries. Extensive experiments are carried out on four different finger-vein image datasets, including three publicly available datasets and one of our newly developed finger-vein datasets with 37,080 finger-vein samples and 1030 individuals. The experimental results indicate that our proposed method has very competitive ROI localization performance, as well as satisfactory matching results on different datasets.

In medical systems for patient's authentication, keeping biometric data secure is a general problem. Many studies have presented various ways of protecting biometric data especially finger vein biometric data. Thus, It is needs to find better ways of securing this data by applying the three principles of information security aforementioned, and creating a robust verification system with high levels of reliability, privacy and security. Moreover, it is very difficult to replace biometric information and any leakage of biometrics information leads to earnest risks for example replay attacks using the robbed biometric data. In this paper presented criticism and analysis to all attempts as revealed in the literature review and discussion the proposes a novel verification secure framework based confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) standard in triplex blockchain-particle swarm optimization (PSO)-advanced encryption standard (AES) techniques for medical systems patient's authentication. Three stages are performed on discussion. Firstly, proposes a new hybrid model pattern in order to increase the randomization based on radio frequency identification (RFID) and finger vein biometrics. To achieve this, proposed a new merge algorithm to combine the RFID features and finger vein features in one hybrid and random pattern. Secondly, how the propose verification secure framework are followed the CIA standard for telemedicine authentication by combination of AES encryption technique, blockchain and PSO in steganography technique based on proposed pattern model. Finally, discussed the validation and evaluation of the proposed verification secure framework.

Finger-Vein Verification Based on LSTM Recurrent Neural Networks. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2019. [DOI: 10.3390/app9081687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Finger-vein biometrics has been extensively investigated for personal verification. A challenge is that the finger-vein acquisition is affected by many factors, which results in many ambiguous regions in the finger-vein image. Generally, the separability between vein and background is poor in such regions. Despite recent advances in finger-vein pattern segmentation, current solutions still lack the robustness to extract finger-vein features from raw images because they do not take into account the complex spatial dependencies of vein pattern. This paper proposes a deep learning model to extract vein features by combining the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) model and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. Firstly, we automatically assign the label based on a combination of known state of the art handcrafted finger-vein image segmentation techniques, and generate various sequences for each labeled pixel along different directions. Secondly, several Stacked Convolutional Neural Networks and Long Short-Term Memory (SCNN-LSTM) models are independently trained on the resulting sequences. The outputs of various SCNN-LSTMs form a complementary and over-complete representation and are conjointly put into Probabilistic Support Vector Machine (P-SVM) to predict the probability of each pixel of being foreground (i.e., vein pixel) given several sequences centered on it. Thirdly, we propose a supervised encoding scheme to extract the binary vein texture. A threshold is automatically computed by taking into account the maximal separation between the inter-class distance and the intra-class distance. In our approach, the CNN learns robust features for vein texture pattern representation and LSTM stores the complex spatial dependencies of vein patterns. So, the pixels in any region of a test image can then be classified effectively. In addition, the supervised information is employed to encode the vein patterns, so the resulting encoding images contain more discriminating features. The experimental results on one public finger-vein database show that the proposed approach significantly improves the finger-vein verification accuracy.

Abstract
An accurate region of interest extraction (ROI) plays an important role for both finger vein recognition systems and finger vein-based cryptography systems. In order to localize the rectangle ROI accurately, the edges of the finger and a line in the finger joint region should be detected accurately as a reference position. Because most of the existing finger edge detection methods do not work well, a robust finger edge detection method is proposed in this paper. An inner line of the finger is first detected to divide the finger vein image by two parts, after that two edge detection templates and a series of technologies such as interpolation, fit, etc. are used to detect and fix the wrong edges of the finger. Furthermore, considering that the shapes of the brighter finger joint region are irregular, multiple sliding windows including rectangle, disk, diamond and ellipse are generated, respectively to detect the reference line of the finger joint. Finally, a contour similarity distance-based method is introduced to evaluate the performance of various sliding windows. The experimental results show that the proposed edge detection method can 100% successfully detect the edges of the fingers in our finger vein image database. And for various detection windows, the ellipse window is more suitable for the detection of the finger joint reference line. So, the proposed ROI extraction method for finger vein images has a better overall performance compared with the other methods.

Abstract
As a promising biometric system, finger vein identification has been studied widely and many relevant researches have been proposed. However, it is hard to extract a satisfied finger vein pattern due to the various vein thickness, illumination, low contrast region, and noise existing. And most of the feature extraction algorithms rely on high-quality finger vein database and take a long time for a large dimensional feature vector. In this paper, we proposed two block selection methods which are based on the estimate of the amount of information in each block and the contribution of block location by looking at recognition rate of each block position to reduce feature extraction time and matching time. The specific approach is to find out some local finger vein areas with low-quality and noise, which will be useless for feature description. Local binary pattern (LBP) descriptors are proposed to extract the finger vein pattern feature. Two finger vein databases are taken to test our algorithm performance. Experimental results show that proposed block selection algorithms can reduce the feature vector dimensionality in a large extent.

Abstract
Finger vein recognition has been considered one of the most promising biometrics for personal authentication. However, the capacities and percentages of finger tissues (e.g., bone, muscle, ligament, water, fat, etc.) vary person by person. This usually causes poor quality of finger vein images, therefore degrading the performance of finger vein recognition systems (FVRSs). In this paper, the intrinsic factors of finger tissue causing poor quality of finger vein images are analyzed, and an intensity variation (IV) normalization method using guided filter based single scale retinex (GFSSR) is proposed for finger vein image enhancement. The experimental results on two public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in enhancing the image quality and finger vein recognition accuracy.

Abstract
Finger vein images are rich in orientation and edge features. Inspired by the edge histogram descriptor proposed in MPEG-7, this paper presents an efficient orientation-based local descriptor, named histogram of salient edge orientation map (HSEOM). HSEOM is based on the fact that human vision is sensitive to edge features for image perception. For a given image, HSEOM first finds oriented edge maps according to predefined orientations using a well-known edge operator and obtains a salient edge orientation map by choosing an orientation with the maximum edge magnitude for each pixel. Then, subhistograms of the salient edge orientation map are generated from the nonoverlapping submaps and concatenated to build the final HSEOM. In the experiment of this paper, eight oriented edge maps were used to generate a salient edge orientation map for HSEOM construction. Experimental results on our available finger vein image database, MMCBNU_6000, show that the performance of HSEOM outperforms that of state-of-the-art orientation-based methods (e.g., Gabor filter, histogram of oriented gradients, and local directional code). Furthermore, the proposed HSEOM has advantages of low feature dimensionality and fast implementation for a real-time finger vein recognition system.
