MAGE-Vein framework improves age/gender estimation from finger veins

Researchers have developed MAGE-Vein, a new framework for estimating age and gender from finger vein images. This multi-instance, multi-task learning approach uses a hybrid feature-level fusion of three fingers to extract reliable aging signs and simultaneously optimizes gender classification to account for gender-specific vascular variations. Tested on a balanced dataset, MAGE-Vein achieved a mean absolute error of 6.12 years for age estimation and a correlation of 0.880, challenging previous assumptions about the limitations of finger vein analysis for these tasks.

    MAGE-Vein: Multi-Instance Age and Gender Estimation from Finger Vein Images

    arXiv:2607.20897v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Age estimation from finger vein images has been widely considered impractical due to severe demographic biases in public datasets and physiological confounding factors like gender. To overcome these limitations, we propose MAGE-Vein…
