Deep Learning for Multi-instance Biometric Privacy
Tanuja Sudhakar, Marina L. Gavrilova · ACM Transactions on Management Information Systems · 2020
The fundamental goal of a revocable biometric system is to defend a user’s biometrics from being compromised. This research explores the application of deep learning or Convolutional Neural Networks to multi-instance biometrics. Modality features are transformed into revocable templates through the application of random projection. During the user authentication phase, we employ Support Vector Machines, chosen over three other alternative classifiers after carrying out a comparative study. Comparison of the proposed method over other standard deep learning models and performance evaluation before and after revocability have also been discussed. Results demonstrate ability to improve identification accuracy and provide sound template security. The system was validated on three multi-instance iris and fingervein databases.
