Survey of Application of Deep Learning in Finger Vein Recognition

Abstract

Finger vein recognition technology has become a research hotspot in the new generation of biometrics because of its advantages of non-contact, high security and living body detection. With the development of deep learning, finger vein recognition technology based on deep neural network has made remarkable achievements. This paper firstly introduces the common public datasets in the field of finger vein recognition, and then classifies the applications of deep learning methods in finger vein recognition in recent years according to different neural network learning tasks, and analyzes the technical characteristics and application scenarios of each type. This paper also introduces the design techniques of deep learning in finger vein recognition from the aspects of lightweight network, data augmentation, attention mechanism and so on, and then expounds the common loss function in the model from two aspects of classifying loss and measuring learning loss. Finally, the evaluation indices of finger vein recognition system are introduced and the results of some researches on accuracy and equal error rate are summarized. In addition, the challenges and potential development directions of finger vein recognition are also presented.
