Deep Multi-loss Hashing Network for Palmprint Retrieval and Recognition

Abstract

With the wide application of biometrics technology, the scale of biometrics databases is increasing rapidly. In this situation, fast retrieval technology is more and more necessary for large-scale biometrics retrieval and recognition. Palmprint recognition is one of the emerging biometrics technologies. However, the research on fast palmprint retrieval algorithm is still preliminary. Hashing is one of the most popular image retrieval technologies due to its fast speed and low storage cost. In this paper, we propose a new deep palmprint hashing method, which integrates classification loss, pairing loss and quantization loss in a unified deep learning framework. Experimental results show that the proposed deep multi-loss hashing method has better performance for palmprint recognition and retrieval than other existing classic hashing methods.
