This research proposes finger vein recognition system using Local Line Binary Pattern (LLBP) method and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ). LLBP is is the advanced feature extraction method of Local Binary Pattern (LBP) method that uses a combination of binary values from neighborhood pixels to form features of an image. The straight-line shape of LLBP can extract robust features from the images with unclear veins, it is more suitable to capture the pattern of vein in finger vein image. At the recognition stage, LVQ is used as a classification method to improve recognition accuracy, which has been shown in earlier studies to show better results than other classifier methods. The three main stages in this research are preprocessing, feature extraction using LLBP method and recognition using LVQ. The proposed methodology has been tested on the SDUMLA-HMT finger vein image database from Shandong University. The experiment shows that the proposed methodology can achieve accuracy up to 90%. Index Terms—finger vein recognition, Learning Vector Quantization, LLBP, Local Line Binary Pattern, LVQ.

This paper aims to provide a brief review of the feature extraction methods applied for finger vein recognition. The presented study is designed in a systematic way in order to bring light to the scientific interest for biometric systems based on finger vein biometric features. The analysis spans over a period of 13 years (from 2008 to 2020). The examined feature extraction algorithms are clustered into five categories and are presented in a qualitative manner by focusing mainly on the techniques applied to represent the features of the finger veins that uniquely prove a human’s identity. In addition, the case of non-handcrafted features learned in a deep learning framework is also examined. The conducted literature analysis revealed the increased interest in finger vein biometric systems as well as the high diversity of different feature extraction methods proposed over the past several years. However, last year this interest shifted to the application of Convolutional Neural Networks following the general trend of applying deep learning models in a range of disciplines. Finally, yet importantly, this work highlights the limitations of the existing feature extraction methods and describes the research actions needed to face the identified challenges.

Specific Implementation

Finger vein (FV) biometrics is one of the most promising individual recognition traits, which has the capabilities of uniqueness, anti-forgery, and bio-assay, etc. However, due to the restricts of imaging environments, the acquired FV images are easily degraded to low-contrast, blur, as well as serious noise disturbance. Therefore, how to extract more efficient and robust features from these low-quality FV images, remains to be addressed. In this paper, a novel feature extraction method of FV images is presented, which combines curvature and radon-like features (RLF). First, an enhanced vein pattern image is obtained by calculating the mean curvature of each pixel in the original FV image. Then, a specific implementation of RLF is developed and performed on the previously obtained vein pattern image, which can effectively aggregate the dispersed spatial information around the vein structures, thus highlight vein patterns and suppress spurious non-boundary responses and noises. Finally, a smoother vein structure image is obtained for subsequent matching and verification. Compared with the existing curvature-based recognition methods, the proposed method can not only preserve the inherent vein patterns, but also eliminate most of the pseudo vein information, so as to restore more smoothing and genuine vein structure information. In order to assess the performance of our proposed RLF-based method, we conducted comprehensive experiments on three public FV databases and a self-built FV database (which contains 37,080 samples that derived from 1030 individuals). The experimental results denoted that RLF-based feature extraction method can obtain more complete and continuous vein patterns, as well as better recognition accuracy.

Today, finger vein recognition has a lot of attention as a promising approach of biometric identification framework and still does not meet the challenges of the researchers on this filed. To solve this problem, we propose s double stage of feature extraction schemes based localized finger fine image detection. We propose Globalized Features Pattern Map Indication (GFPMI) to extract the globalized finger vein line features basede on using two generated vein image datasets: original gray level color, globalized finger vein line feature, original localized gray level image, and the colored localized finger vein images. Then, two kinds of features (gray scale and texture features) are extracted, which tell the structure information of the whole finger vein pattern in the whole dataset. The recurrent based residual neural network (RNN) is used to identify the finger vein images. The experimental show that the localized colored finger vein images based globalized feature extraction has achieved the higher accuracy (93.49%) while the original image dataset achieved less accuracy by (69.86%).

Extracting Region of Interest (ROI) is an important step for finger vein recognition system. The purpose of this process is to determine the part of the image that we need for extracting features. In this paper we present an ROI extraction method that overcome the problems of finger rotation and displacement. We first locate the finger midline to be used in correcting the oblique images. We then use a sliding window to determine the Proximal inter phalangeal joint and to further identify the ROI height. Finally, from the corrected image of a certain height, the ROI is obtained through the use of finger edges internal tangents as ROI boundaries. The results prove that our method in a more accurate and effective manner in comparison with the method of [1], and thus enhance the performance of the system.

Accuracy and efficiency are essential topics in the current biometric feature recognition and security research. This paper proposes a deep neural network using bidirectional feature extraction and transfer learning to improve finger-vein recognition performance. Above all, we make a new finger-vein database with the opposite position information of the original one and adopt transfer learning to make the network suitable for our overall recognition framework. Next, the feature extractor is constructed by adjusting the unidirectional database’s parameters, capturing vein features from top to bottom and vice versa. Correspondingly, we concatenate the above two features to form the finger-veins’ bidirectional features, which are trained and classified by Support Vector Machines (SVM) to realize recognition. Experiments are conducted on the Malaysian Polytechnic University’s published database (FV-USM) and finger veins of Signal and Information Processing Laboratory (FV-SIPL). The accuracy of our proposed algorithm reaches 99.67% and 99.31%, which is significantly higher than the unidirectional recognition under each database. Compared with the algorithms cited in this paper, our proposed model based on bidirectional feature enjoys higher accuracy, faster recognition speed than the state-of-the-art frameworks, and excellent practical value.
