Convolutional Neural Network Approach Based on Multimodal Biometric System with Fusion of Face and Finger Vein Features.

In today's information age, how to accurately identify a person's identity and protect information security has become a hot topic of people from all walks of life. At present, a more convenient and secure solution to identity identification is undoubtedly biometric identification, but a single biometric identification cannot support increasingly complex and diversified authentication scenarios. Using multimodal biometric technology can improve the accuracy and safety of identification. This paper proposes a biometric method based on finger vein and face bimodal feature layer fusion, which uses a convolutional neural network (CNN), and the fusion occurs in the feature layer. The self-attention mechanism is used to obtain the weights of the two biometrics, and combined with the RESNET residual structure, the self-attention weight feature is cascaded with the bimodal fusion feature channel Concat. To prove the high efficiency of bimodal feature layer fusion, AlexNet and VGG-19 network models were selected in the experimental part for extracting finger vein and face image features as inputs to the feature fusion module. The extensive experiments show that the recognition accuracy of both models exceeds 98.4%, demonstrating the high efficiency of the bimodal feature fusion.
