• Abstract summary: Many existing hand-based recognition methods perform well for hand images collected in controlled environments with user cooperation. An algorithm integrating a multi-spatial transformer network (MSTN) and multiple loss functions is proposed to fully utilize information in full hand images. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs significantly better than the existing methods in these uncontrolled and uncooperative environments.

• Abstract: The prevalence of smartphone and consumer camera has led to more evidence in the form of digital images, which are mostly taken in uncontrolled and uncooperative environments. In these images, criminals likely hide or cover their faces while their hands are observable in some cases, creating a challenging use case for forensic investigation. Many existing hand-based recognition methods perform well for hand images collected in controlled environments with user cooperation. However, their performance deteriorates significantly in uncontrolled and uncooperative environments. A recent work has exposed the potential of hand recognition in these environments. However, only the palmar regions were considered, and the recognition performance is still far from satisfactory. To improve the recognition accuracy, an algorithm integrating a multi-spatial transformer network (MSTN) and multiple loss functions is proposed to fully utilize information in full hand images. MSTN is firstly employed to localize the palms and fingers and estimate the alignment parameters. Then, the aligned images are further fed into pretrained convolutional neural networks, where features are extracted. Finally, a training scheme with multiple loss functions is used to train the network end-to-end. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the trained model is evaluated on NTU-PI-v1 database and six benchmark databases from different domains. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs significantly better than the existing methods in these uncontrolled and uncooperative environments and has good generalization capabilities to samples from different domains.

Our method can be easily generalized to an unsupervised paradigm by replacing supernet training with self-supervised learning in the source domain tasks and performing linear evaluation in the downstream tasks.
