ABSTRACT
Finger vein image retrieval is one significant technique for performing fast identification especially in large-scale applications. However, most existing retrieval methods were based on fixed-scale feature of non-overlapped rectangular image block, in which the representation ability of feature and the local consistency of vein pattern were both overlooked. And the weak encoding (e.g., predefined threshold based binarization) was also limited the retrieval performance. Focusing on these problems, this paper proposes a novel finger vein image retrieval framework based on similarity-preserving encoding of scale-varied superpixel feature. In the framework, locally consistent pixels in one superpixel are used as a unit of feature representation, and the feature length is varied with the category of the superpixel classified by the variance of lowest dimensional feature. Additionally, the feature compaction and feature rotation based encoding can minimize the quantization loss and preserve the similarity between the scale-varied feature and the encoded binary codes. Experimental results on six public finger vein databases demonstrate that the superiority of the proposed coding scale-varied superpixel feature based retrieval approach over the state-of-the-arts.
