Abstract Palmprint identification has been conducted over the last two decades in many biometric systems. High-dimensional data with many uncorrelated and duplicated features remains difficult due to several computational complexity issues. This paper presents an interactive authentication approach based on deep learning and feature selection that supports Palmprint authentication. The proposed model has two stages of learning; the first stage is to transfer pre-trained VGG-16 of ImageNet to specific features based on the extraction model. The second stage involves the VGG-16 Palmprint feature extraction in the Siamese network to learn Palmprint similarity. The proposed model achieves robust and reliable end-to-end Palmprint… More >

Abstract Label assignment refers to determining positive/negative labels for each sample to supervise the training process. Existing Siamese-based trackers primarily use fixed label assignment strategies according to human prior knowledge; thus, they can be sensitive to predefined hyperparameters and fail to fit the spatial and scale variations of samples. In this study, we first develop a novel dynamic label assignment (DLA) module to handle the diverse data distributions and adaptively distinguish the foreground from the background based on the statistical characteristics of the target in visual object tracking. The core of DLA module is a two-step selection mechanism. The first step… More >

Abstract Many types of research focus on utilizing Palmprint recognition in user identification and authentication. The Palmprint is one of biometric authentication (something you are) invariable during a person’s life and needs careful protection during enrollment into different biometric authentication systems. Accuracy and irreversibility are critical requirements for securing the Palmprint template during enrollment and verification. This paper proposes an innovative HAMTE neural network model that contains Hetero-Associative Memory for Palmprint template translation and projection using matrix multiplication and dot product multiplication. A HAMTE-Siamese network is constructed, which accepts two Palmprint templates and predicts whether these two templates belong to the… More >

Abstract Deep metric learning is one of the recommended methods for the challenge of supporting few/zero-shot learning by deep networks. It depends on building a Siamese architecture of two homogeneous Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for learning a distance function that can map input data from the input space to the feature space. Instead of determining the class of each sample, the Siamese architecture deals with the existence of a few training samples by deciding if the samples share the same class identity or not. The traditional structure for the Siamese architecture was built by forming two CNNs from scratch with randomly… More >

Abstract Visual object tracking is a hot topic in recent years. In the meanwhile, Siamese networks have attracted extensive attention in this field because of its balanced precision and speed. However, most of the Siamese network methods can only distinguish foreground from the non-semantic background. The fine-tuning and retraining of fully-convolutional Siamese networks for object tracking(SiamFC) can achieve higher precision under interferences, but the tracking accuracy is still not ideal, especially in the environment with more target interferences, dim light, and shadows. In this paper, we propose criss-cross attentional Siamese networks for object tracking (SiamCC). To solve the imbalance between foreground… More >

Abstract The Visual tracking problem can usually be solved in two parts. The first part is to extract the feature of the target and get the candidate region. The second part is to realize the classification of the target and the regression of the bounding box. In recent years, Siameses network in visual tracking problem has always been a frontier research hotspot. In this work, it applies two branches namely search area and tracking template area for similar learning to track. Some related researches prove the feasibility of this network structure. According to the characteristics of two branch shared networks in… More >

Abstract This paper presents an off-line handwritten signature verification system based on the Siamese network, where a hybrid architecture is used. The Residual neural Network (ResNet) is used to realize a powerful feature extraction model such that Writer Independent (WI) features can be effectively learned. A single-layer Siamese Neural Network (NN) is used to realize a Writer Dependent (WD) classifier such that the storage space can be minimized. For the purpose of reducing the impact of the high intraclass variability of the signature and ensuring that the Siamese network can learn more effectively, we propose a method of selecting a reference… More >

Abstract In recent years, with the development of the natural language processing (NLP) technologies, security analyst began to use NLP directly on assembly codes which were disassembled from binary executables in order to examine binary similarity, achieved great progress. However, we found that the existing frameworks often ignored the complex internal structure of instructions and didn’t fully consider the long-term dependencies of instructions. In this paper, we propose firmVulSeeker—a vulnerability search tool for embedded firmware images, based on BERT and Siamese network. It first builds a BERT MLM task to observe and learn the semantics of different instructions in their context… More >

Abstract With the development of new media technology, vehicle matching plays a further significant role in video surveillance systems. Recent methods explored the vehicle matching based on the feature extraction. Meanwhile, similarity metric learning also has achieved enormous progress in vehicle matching. But most of these methods are less effective in some realistic scenarios where vehicles usually be captured in different times. To address this cross-domain problem, we propose a cross-domain similarity metric learning method that utilizes the GAN to generate vehicle images with another domain and propose the two-channel Siamese network to learn a similarity metric from both domains (i.e.,… More >
