Convolutional Neural Network Based Deep Feature Learning for Finger-vein Identification

The modern-day finger vein based human recognition techniques provide good performance, yet they are highly finger vein image quality dependent. To address this problem, a novel deep learning-based approach using convolution-neural-network (CNN) for finger vein identification has been introduced here. The prime objective of our work is to achieve a stable response with accurate performance keeping varying quality finger vein images in account. The proposed approach is tested on the considered publicly available dataset and reported experiment results show that with effective training and testing strategy high identification accuracy can be achieved.
