Description
Summary:This paper presents a novel deep learning-based method that integrates a Convolutional Auto-Encoder (CAE) with support vector machine (SVM) for finger-vein verification. The CAE is used to learn the features from finger-vein images, and the SVM is used to classify finger vein from these learned feature codes. The CAE consists of a finger-vein encoder, which extracts high-level feature representation from raw pixels of the images, and a decoder which outputs reconstruct finger-vein images from high-level feature code. As an effective classifier, SVM is introduced in this paper to classify the feature code which is obtained from CAE. Experiments prove that the proposed deep learning-based approach has superior performance in learning features than traditional method without any prior knowledge, presenting a good potential in the verification of finger vein.
