Spectrum Translation for Cross-Spectral Ocular Matching
Cross-spectral verification remains a big issue in biometrics, especially for the ocular area due to differences in the reflected features in the images depending on the region and spectrum used. In this paper, we investigate the use of Conditional Adversarial Networks for spectrum translation between near infra-red and visual light images for ocular biometrics. We analyze the transformation based on the overall visual quality of the transformed images and the accuracy drop of the identification system when trained with opposing data. We use the PolyU database and propose two different systems for biometric verification, the first one based on Siamese Networks trained with Softmax and Cross-Entropy loss, and the second one a Triplet Loss network. We achieved an EER of 1\% when using a Triplet Loss network trained for NIR and finding the Euclidean distance between the real NIR images and the fake ones translated from the visible spectrum. We also outperform previous results using baseline algorithms.

Cross-Spectral Periocular Recognition with Conditional Adversarial Networks
This work addresses the challenge of comparing periocular images captured in different spectra, which is known to produce significant drops in performance in comparison to operating in the same spectrum. We propose the u…
Cross-spectral Periocular Recognition: A Survey
Among many biometrics such as face, iris, fingerprint and others, periocular region has the advantages over other biometrics because it is non-intrusive and serves as a balance between iris or eye region (very stringent,…
