With the rapid growth of fingerprint-based biometric systems, it is essential to ensure the security and reliability of the deployed algorithms. Indeed, the security vulnerability of these systems has been widely recognized. Thus, it is critical to enhance the generalization ability of fingerprint presentation attack detection (PAD) cross-sensor and cross-material settings. In this work, we propose a novel solution for addressing the case of a single source domain (sensor) with large labeled real/fake fingerprint images and multiple target domains (sensors) with only few real images obtained from different sensors. Our aim is to build a model that leverages the limited sample issues in all target domains by transferring knowledge from the source domain. To this end, we train a unified generative adversarial network (UGAN) for multidomain conversion to learn several mappings between all domains. This allows us to generate additional synthetic images for the target domains from the source domain to reduce the distribution shift between fingerprint representations. Then, we train a scale compound network (EfficientNetV2) coupled with multiple head classifiers (one classifier for each domain) using the source domain and the translated images. The outputs of these classifiers are then aggregated using an additional fusion layer with learnable weights. In the experiments, we validate the proposed methodology on the public LivDet2015 dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the average classification accuracy over twelve classification scenarios from 67.80 to 80.44% after adaptation.

Biometric-based authentication is widely deployed on multimedia systems currently; however, biometric systems are vulnerable to image-level attacks for impersonation. Reconstruction attack (RA) and presentation attack (PA) are two typical instances for image-level attacks. In RA, the reconstructed images often have insufficient naturalness due to the presence of remarkable counterfeit appearance, thus their forgeries can be easily detected by machine or human. The PA requires genuine users’ original images, which are difficult to acquire in practice and to counterfeit fake biometric images on spoofing carriers. In this paper, we develop false acceptance attack (FAA) for a palmprint biometric, which overcomes the aforementioned problems of RA and PA. FAA does not require genuine users’ images, and it can be launched simply with the synthetic images with high naturalness, which are generated by the generative adversarial networks. As a case study, we demonstrate the feasibility of FAA against coding-based palmprint biometric systems. To further improve the efficiency of FAA, we employ a clustering method to select diverse fake images in order to enhance the diversity of the fake images used, so the number of attack times is reduced. Our experimental results show the success rate and effectiveness of the FAA.

Fingerprint-based biometric systems have grown rapidly as they are used for various applications including mobile payments, international border security, and financial transactions. The widespread nature of these systems renders them vulnerable to presentation attacks. Hence, improving the generalization ability of fingerprint presentation attack detection (PAD) in cross-sensor and cross-material setting is of primary importance. In this work, we propose a solution based on a transformers and generative adversarial networks (GANs). Our aim is to reduce the distribution shift between fingerprint representations coming from multiple target sensors. In the experiments, we validate the proposed methodology on the public LivDet2015 dataset provided by the liveness detection competition. The experimental results show that the proposed architecture yields an increase in average classification accuracy from 68.52% up to 83.12% after adaptation.

Molecular discovery seeks to generate chemical species tailored to very specific needs. In this paper, we present ORGANIC, a framework based on Objective-Reinforced Generative Adversarial Networks (ORGAN), capable of producing a distribution over molecular space that matches with a certain set of desirable metrics. This methodology combines two successful techniques from the machine learning community: a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), to create non-repetitive sensible molecular species, and Reinforcement Learning (RL), to bias this generative distribution towards certain attributes. We explore several applications, from optimization of random physicochemical properties to candidates for drug discovery and organic photovoltaic material design.

Artificial intelligence technologies and vision systems are used in various devices, such as automotive navigation systems, object-tracking systems, and intelligent closed-circuit televisions. In particular, outdoor vision systems have been applied across numerous fields of analysis. Despite their widespread use, current systems work well under good weather conditions. They cannot account for inclement conditions, such as rain, fog, mist, and snow. Images captured under inclement conditions degrade the performance of vision systems. Vision systems need to detect, recognize, and remove noise because of rain, snow, and mist to boost the performance of the algorithms employed in image processing. Several studies have targeted the removal of noise resulting from inclement conditions. We focused on eliminating the effects of raindrops on images captured with outdoor vision systems in which the camera was exposed to rain. An attentive generative adversarial network (ATTGAN) was used to remove raindrops from the images. This network was composed of two parts: an attentive-recurrent network and a contextual autoencoder. The ATTGAN generated an attention map to detect rain droplets. A de-rained image was generated by increasing the number of attentive-recurrent network layers. We increased the number of visual attentive-recurrent network layers in order to prevent gradient sparsity so that the entire generation was more stable against the network without preventing the network from converging. The experimental results confirmed that the extended ATTGAN could effectively remove various types of raindrops from images.

AbstractWith the development of image recognition technology, face, body shape, and other factors have been widely used as identification labels, which provide a lot of convenience for our daily life. However, image recognition has much higher requirements for image conditions than traditional identification methods like a password. Therefore, image enhancement plays an important role in the process of image analysis for images with noise, among which the image of low-light is the top priority of our research. In this paper, a low-light image enhancement method based on the enhanced network module optimized Generative Adversarial Networks(GAN) is proposed. The proposed method first applied the enhancement network to input the image into the generator to generate a similar image in the new space, Then constructed a loss function and minimized it to train the discriminator, which is used to compare the image generated by the generator with the real image. We implemented the proposed method on two image datasets (DPED, LOL), and compared it with both the traditional image enhancement method and the deep learning approach. Experiments showed that our proposed network enhanced images have higher PNSR and SSIM, the overall perception of relatively good quality, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method in the aspect of low illumination image enhancement.

Abstract Objectives To reduce the dose of intravenous iodine-based contrast media (ICM) in CT through virtual contrast-enhanced images using generative adversarial networks. Methods Dual-energy CTs in the arterial phase of 85 patients were randomly split into an 80/20 train/test collective. Four different generative adversarial networks (GANs) based on image pairs, which comprised one image with virtually reduced ICM and the original full ICM CT slice, were trained, testing two input formats (2D and 2.5D) and two reduced ICM dose levels (−50% and −80%). The amount of intravenous ICM was reduced by creating virtual non-contrast series using dual-energy and adding the corresponding percentage of the iodine map. The evaluation was based on different scores (L1 loss, SSIM, PSNR, FID), which evaluate the image quality and similarity. Additionally, a visual Turing test (VTT) with three radiologists was used to assess the similarity and pathological consistency. Results The −80% models reach an SSIM of > 98%, PSNR of > 48, L1 of between 7.5 and 8, and an FID of between 1.6 and 1.7. In comparison, the −50% models reach a SSIM of > 99%, PSNR of > 51, L1 of between 6.0 and 6.1, and an FID between 0.8 and 0.95. For the crucial question of pathological consistency, only the 50% ICM reduction networks achieved 100% consistency, which is required for clinical use. Conclusions The required amount of ICM for CT can be reduced by 50% while maintaining image quality and diagnostic accuracy using GANs. Further phantom studies and animal experiments are required to confirm these initial results. Key Points • The amount of contrast media required for CT can be reduced by 50% using generative adversarial networks. • Not only the image quality but especially the pathological consistency must be evaluated to assess safety. • A too pronounced contrast media reduction could influence the pathological consistency in our collective at 80%.

Abstract Electromagnetic inverse-scattering problems (ISPs) are concerned with determining the properties of an unknown object using measured scattered fields. ISPs are often highly nonlinear, causing the problem to be very difficult to address. In addition, the reconstruction images of different optimization methods are distorted which leads to inaccurate reconstruction results. To alleviate these issues, we propose a new linear model solution of generative adversarial network-based (LM-GAN) inspired by generative adversarial networks (GAN). Two sub-networks are trained alternately in the adversarial framework. A linear deep iterative network as a generative network captures the spatial distribution of the data, and a discriminative network estimates the probability of a sample from the training data. Numerical results validate that LM-GAN has admirable fidelity and accuracy when reconstructing complex scatterers.

Age estimation models can be employed in many applications, including soft biometrics, content access control, targeted advertising, and many more. However, as some facial images are taken in unrestrained conditions, the quality relegates, which results in the loss of several essential ageing features. This study investigates how introducing a new layer of data processing based on a super-resolution generative adversarial network (SRGAN) model can influence the accuracy of age estimation by enhancing the quality of both the training and testing samples. Additionally, we introduce a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier to distinguish between several age classes. We train one of our classifiers on a reconstructed version of the original dataset and compare its performance with an identical classifier trained on the original version of the same dataset. Our findings reveal that the classifier which trains on the reconstructed dataset produces better classification accuracy, opening the door for more research into building data-centric machine learning systems.

Abstract Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are most popular generative frameworks that have achieved compelling performance. They follow an adversarial approach where two deep models generator and discriminator compete with each other In this paper, we propose a Generative Adversarial Network with best hyper-parameters selection to generate fake images for digits number 1 to 9 with generator and train discriminator to decide whereas the generated images are fake or true. Using Genetic Algorithm technique to adapt GAN hyper-parameters, the final method is named GANGA:Generative Adversarial Network with Genetic Algorithm. Anaconda environment with tensorflow library facilitates was used, python as programming language also used with needed libraries. The implementation was done using MNIST dataset to validate our work. The proposed method is to let Genetic algorithm to choose best values of hyper-parameters depending on minimizing a cost function such as a loss function or maximizing accuracy function. GA was used to select values of Learning rate, Batch normalization, Number of neurons and a parameter of Dropout layer.

Simulation is one of the key components in high energy physics. Historically it relies on the Monte Carlo methods which require a tremendous amount of computation resources. These methods may have difficulties with the expected High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider need, so the experiment is in urgent need of new fast simulation techniques. The application of Generative Adversarial Networks is a promising solution to speed up the simulation while providing the necessary physics performance. In this paper we propose the Self-Attention Generative Adversarial Network as a possible improvement of the network architecture. The application is demonstrated on the performance of generating responses of the LHCb type of the electromagnetic calorimeter.
