Trilateral Filterative Hermitian feature transformed deep perceptive fuzzy neural network for finger vein verification

Abstract

Automated person recognition is an essential field to preserve individual privacy in biometrics. A conventional system performs the recognition, but inaccurate detection of finger-vein lines causes lesser verification accuracy. To address this problem, a novel Trilateral Filterative Hermitian Feature Transformation based Deep Perceptive Fuzzy Neural Network (TFHFT-DPFNN) model is introduced for the capability of learning biometric features that offers robust and accurate vein image verification with minimum time. The proposed TFHFT-DPFNN model performs four different processing stages in the network layers. In the first stage, multiple finger vein images are captured from the database. Then the input images are taken to perform the denoising in the second stage by applying a guided trilateral filter to smooth the input image for accurate matching with minimum time consumption. Followed by, Hermitian Hat wavelet transformation is applied to perform decomposition and feature extraction from the input image. Then, the extracted features are transferred to the next hidden layer where the feature matching process is carried by applying the Jaccard similarity index. Based on the similarity value, the finger vein verification is performed through the fuzzy triangular membership function at the output layer. Finally, the verified results are obtained at the output layer with minimum error. Experimental evaluation is carried out with training images and testing images on different factors such as peak signal-to-noise ratio, finger vein verification accuracy, false-positive rate, and computation time with the number of finger vein images. The proposed TFHFT-DPFNN model offers promising outcomes in terms of higher verification accuracy and lesser false-positive rate with minimum time consumption than the conventional methods.
