• Abstract: The objective of this work is to propose a novel methodology for the finger knuckle print recognition, which is essentially a digital photo of the finger-knuckle region. We have employed very simple concepts of visual computing such as a filter based on the Sobel operator for finding edges and a simple noise reduction algorithm. These operations are exceptionally fast and produce binary images, which are very efficient to process and to store. Furthermore, alongside this preprocessing, some similarity measures were also regarded and evaluated for the task. After preprocessing an input finger it is compared to all the images of fingers in the dataset, one by one. We have obtained up to 17.02% of successful recognitions (true positive rate) with a large dataset.

  We focus on a general yet important learning problem, pairwise similarity learning (PSL) PSL subsumes a wide range of important applications, such as open-set face recognition, speaker verification, image retrieval and person re-identification. We propose a surprisingly simple proxy-free method, called SimPLE, which requires neither feature/proxy normalization nor angular margin.

  Contactless 3D finger knuckle patterns have emerged as an effective biometric identifier due to its discriminativeness, visibility from a distance, and convenience. Recent research has developed a deep feature collaboration network which simultaneously incorporates intermediate features from deep neural networks with multiple scales. This paper advances this approach by investigating the possibility of learning a discriminative feature vector with the least possible dimension for representing 3D finger knuckle images.
