Compared to other identity verification systems applications, vein patterns have the lowest potential for being used fraudulently. The present research examines the practicability of gathering vascular data from NIR images of veins. In this study, we propose a self-supervision learning algorithm that envisions an automated process to retrieve vascular patterns computationally using unsupervised approaches. This new self-learning algorithm sorts the vascular patterns into clusters and then uses 2D image data to recuperate the extracted vascular patterns linked to NIR templates. Our work incorporates multi-scale filtering followed by multi-scale feature extraction, recognition, identification, and matching. We design the ORC, GPO, and RDM algorithms with these inclusions and finally develop the vascular pattern mining model to visualize the computational retrieval of vascular patterns from NIR imageries. As a result, the developed self-supervised learning algorithm shows a 96.7% accuracy rate utilizing appropriate image quality assessment parameters. In our work, we also contend that we provide strategies that are both theoretically sound and practically efficient for concerns such as how many clusters should be used for specific tasks, which clustering technique should be used, how to set the threshold for single linkage algorithms, and how much data should be excluded as outliers. Consequently, we aim to circumvent Kleinberg’s impossibility while attaining significant clustering to develop a self-supervised learning algorithm using unsupervised methodologies.
