OpenVeinNet advances finger vein verification with novel convolution and graph learning

Researchers have developed OpenVeinNet, a novel framework for robust finger vein verification, particularly effective in open-set scenarios where unseen identities must be rejected. The system integrates Dynamic Snake Convolution for detailed vein structure extraction with graph-based modeling to capture topological relationships between vein regions. A new Centroid Angular Hybrid Loss function further enhances performance by improving the discriminative quality of the embedding space, leading to strong cross-dataset generalization and competitive accuracy.

    OpenVeinNet: Robust Open-Set Finger Vein Verification with Dynamic Snake Convolution and Graph Learning

    arXiv:2608.25515v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Finger vein verification is a promising biometric modality for secure authentication because vascular patterns are internal, difficult to observe externally, and relatively resistant to presentation attacks. However, reliable verifi…
