Human Identity Verification From Biometric Dorsal Hand Vein Images Using the DL-GAN Method

In this research, biometric authentication, which has been widely used for different purposes in the last quarter-century, is studied. Dorsal hand veins are used for biometric authentication. “Deep learning” (DL) and “generative adversarial networks” (GANs) are used together as keys in the study. A DL-GAN is obtained by combining deep learning and GAN. The developed DL-GAN method is tested on two separate databases. The adversarial network (DL-GAN) method is developed to increase the authentication process's proportional value. For identity verification, dorsal hand veins with biometric physical properties are used. A multistep approach is used for selecting hand dorsal features, including preimage processing and effectively identifying individuals. The deep learning productive antinetwork method is used to effectively identify individuals based on the information obtained from the dorsal hand vein images. For the test in the study, two open access databases are used. These databases are the Jilin University - dorsal hand vein database and the 11K hands database. The results of the experiments performed on the dataset related to the dorsal hand vessels show that the DL-GAN method reaches an identity accuracy level of 98.36% and has an error rate of 2.47% and a standard accuracy of 0.19%. The accuracy of the experimental results in the second dataset is 96.43%, the equal error rate is 3.55% and the standard accuracy is 0.21%. The improved DL-GAN method obtains better results than physical biometric methods such as LBP, LPQ, GABOR, FGM, BGM and SIFT.
