Palm vein recognition has emerged as a promising biometric technology, yet its development remains constrained by the scarcity of large-scale publicly available datasets. Several methods of palm vein image generation have been proposed to address this issue. These methods usually focus on the anatom
Palmprint recognition is significantly limited by the lack of large-scale publicly available datasets. Previous methods have adopted Bezier curves to simulate the palm creases, which then serve as input for conditional GANs to generate realistic palmprints.However, without employing real data fine-t…
Palm vein recognition is an emerging biometric technology that offers enhanced security and privacy. However, acquiring sufficient palm vein data for training deep learning-based recognition models is challenging due to the high costs of data collection and privacy protection constraints. This has l…
Current palmprint recognition models achieve strong performance on constrained datasets, yet exhibit significant limitations in handling challenging palmprint samples with geometric distortions and textural degradations. Data augmentation is widely adopted to improve model generalization. However, e…
"Modality alignment has been of paramount importance in recent developments of multimodal learning, which has inspired many innovations in multimodal networks and pre-training tasks. Single-stream networks can effectively leverage self-attention mechanisms to facilitate modality interactions but suf…
The lack of large-scale data seriously hinders the development of palmprint recognition. Recent approaches address this issue by generating large-scale realistic pseudo palmprints from Bézier curves. However, the significant difference between Bézier curves and real palmprints limits their effective…
In this paper, we identify pattern imbalance from several aspects, and further develop a new training scheme to avert pattern preference as well as spurious correlation. In contrast to prior methods which are mostly concerned with category or domain granularity, ignoring the potential finer structur…
In this paper, we identify symmetry property in adversarial scenario by viewing adversarial attack in a fine-grained manner. A newly designed metric called attack proportion, is thus proposed to count the proportion of the adversarial examples misclassified between classes. We observe that the distr…
In this paper, we give a new definition for sample complexity, and further develop a theoretical analysis to bridge the gap between sample complexity and model capacity. In contrast to previous works which study on some toy samples, we conduct our analysis on more general data space, and build a qua…
In this paper, we decouple unsupervised human mesh recovery into the well-studied problems of unsupervised 3D pose estimation, and human mesh recovery from estimated 3D skeletons, focusing on the latter task. The challenges of the latter task are two folds: (1) pose failure (i.e., pose mismatching -…
In this work, we study the ambiguity problem in the task of unsupervised 3D human pose estimation from 2D counterpart. On one hand, without explicit annotation, the scale of 3D pose is difficult to be accurately captured (scale ambiguity). On the other hand, one 2D pose might correspond to multiple…
This paper addresses the challenging black-box adversarial attack problem, where only classification confidence of a victim model is available. Inspired by consistency of visual saliency between different vision models, a surrogate model is expected to improve the attack performance via transferabil…
We propose a variational Bayesian scheme for pruning convolutional neural networks in channel level. This idea is motivated by the fact that deterministic value based pruning methods are inherently improper and unstable. In a nutshell, variational technique is introduced to estimate distribution of…
We propose a variational Bayesian framework for enhancing few-shot learning performance. This idea is motivated by the fact that single point based metric learning approaches are inherently noise-vulnerable and easy-to-be-biased. In a nutshell, stochastic variational inference is invoked to approxim…
