    Longitudinal Finger Rotation - Problems and Effects in Finger-Vein Recognition
    (BIOSIG 2018 - Proceedings of the 17th International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interest Group, 2018) Prommegger, Bernhard; Kauba, Christof; Uhl, Andreas
    Finger-vein scanners or vein-based biometrics in general are becoming more and more popular. Commercial off-the-shelf finger-vein scanners usually capture only one finger from the palmar side using transillumination. Most scanners have a contact area and a finger-shaped support where the finger has to be placed onto in order to prevent misplacements of the finger including shifts, planar rotation and tilts. However, this is not able to prevent rotation of the finger along its longitudinal axis (also called non-planar finger rotation). This kind of finger rotation poses a severe problem in finger-vein recognition as the resulting vein image may represent entirely different patterns due to the perspective projection. We evaluated the robustness of several finger-vein recognition schemes against longitudinal finger rotation. Therefore, we established a finger-vein data set exhibiting longitudinal finger rotation in steps of 1° covering a range of 90°. Our experimental results confirm that the performance of most of the simple recognition schemes rapidly decreases for more than 10° of rotation, while more advanced schemes are able to handle up to 30°.

    Perspective Multiplication for Multi-Perspective Enrolment in Finger Vein Recognition
    (BIOSIG 2019 - Proceedings of the 18th International Conference of the Biometrics Special Interest Group, 2019) Prommegger, Bernhard; Uhl, Andreas
    Finger vein recognition deals with the identification of subjects based on their venous pattern within the fingers. It has been shown that its recognition accuracy heavily depends on a good alignment of the acquired samples. There are several approaches that try to reduce the impact of finger misplacement. However, none of this approaches is able to prevent all possible types of finger misplacements. As finger vein scanners are evolving towards contact-less acquisition, alignment problems, especially due to longitudinal finger rotation, are becoming even more important. One way to tackle this problem is capturing the vein structure from different perspectives during enrolment, but cost and complexity of capturing devices increases with the number of involved cameras. In this article, a new method to reduce the number of cameras needed for multi-perspective enrolment is presented. The reduction is achieved by introducing additional pseudo perspectives in-between two adjacent cameras. The obtained perspectives are used for additional comparisons during authentication. This way, the complexity of the enrolment devices can be reduced while keeping the recognition performance at a high level.
