To this end, we propose a feature extraction algorithm based on the open-set testing protocol. In order to eliminate the interference of irrelevant areas, this paper proposes the idea of segmentation-assisted classification, that is, using the rough mask of the finger vein to constrain the feature learning process so that the network can focus on the vein area and learn greater weight for the vein. Specifically, the feature maps of the shallow layers of the network are first sent to the feature pyramid module to fuse the primary features of different scales, which are then sent to the spatial attention module to obtain the spatial weight map of the image. Based on the results of several classical vein skeleton extraction algorithms, a weighting method is used to obtain a more accurate mask to constrain the learning of the spatial weight map. Finally, a hybrid loss function combining triplet loss and cross-entropy loss is used to reduce the distance between feature vectors of the same categories and increase the distance between feature vectors of different categories in the Euclidean space, thereby improving feature discriminability. Good recognition results were achieved on the three public data sets of SDUMLA, MMCBNU, and FVUSM, and the values of equal error rate (EER) on them are as low as 2.50%, 0.20%, and 0.14%, respectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":8969,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical optics express","volume":"15 12","pages":"6845-6863"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11640582/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142827319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Models of OCT image formation are needed for applications such as aiding image interpretation and validating OCT signal processing techniques.

In particular, the most realistic models tend to be highly computationally demanding, which becomes a limiting factor when simulating C-scan generation. Here we present an OCT image formation model based on the first-order Born approximation that is significantly faster than existing models, whilst maintaining a high degree of realism. This model is made more powerful because it is amenable to simulation of phase sensitive OCT, thus making it applicable to scenarios where sample displacement is of interest, such as optical coherence elastography (OCE) or Doppler OCT. The low computational cost of the model also makes it suitable for creating large OCT data sets needed for training deep learning OCT signal processing models.
