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.

The problems of complex background, low quality of finger vein images, and poor discriminative features have been the bottleneck of feature extraction and finger vein recognition. To this end, we propose a feature extraction algorithm based on the open-set testing protocol. In order to eliminate the interference of irrelevant areas, this paper proposes the idea of segmentation-assisted classification, that is, using the rough mask of the finger vein to constrain the feature learning process so that the network can focus on the vein area and learn greater weight for the vein.

Finger vein (FV) biometrics have garnered considerable attention due to their inherent non-contact nature and high security, exhibiting tremendous potential in identity authentication and beyond. Nevertheless, challenges pertaining to the scarcity of training data and inconsistent image quality continue to impede the effectiveness of finger vein recognition (FVR) systems. To tackle these challenges, we introduce the visual feature-guided diamond convolutional network (dubbed 'VF-DCN'), a uniquely configured multi-scale and multi-orientation convolutional neural network.

Finger vein recognition methods, as emerging biometric technologies, have attracted increasing attention in identity verification due to their high accuracy and live detection capabilities. However, as privacy protection awareness increases, traditional centralized finger vein recognition algorithms face privacy and security issues. Federated learning, a distributed training method that protects data privacy without sharing data across endpoints, is gradually being promoted and applied.

To address several common problems of finger vein recognition, a lightweight finger vein recognition algorithm by means of a small sample has been proposed in this study. First of all, a Gabor filter is applied to deal with the images for the purpose of that these processed images can simulate a kind of situation of finger vein at low temperature, such that the generalization ability of the algorithm model can be improved as well. By cutting down the amount of convolutional layers and fully connected layers in VGG-19, a lightweight network can be given.

With the development of biometric identification technology, finger vein identification has received more and more widespread attention for its security, efficiency, and stability. However, because of the performance of the current standard finger vein image acquisition device and the complex internal organization of the finger, the acquired images are often heavily degraded and have lost their texture characteristics. This makes the topology of the finger veins inconspicuous or even difficult to distinguish, greatly affecting the identification accuracy.
