Active Authentication using an Autoencoder regularized CNN-based One-Class Classifier
Active authentication refers to the process in which users are unobtrusively
monitored and authenticated continuously throughout their interactions with
mobile devices. Generally, an active authentication problem is modelled as a
one class classification problem due to the unavailability of data from the
impostor users. Normally, the enrolled user is considered as the target class
(genuine) and the unauthorized users are considered as unknown classes
(impostor). We propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) based approach for
one class classification in which a zero centered Gaussian noise and an
autoencoder are used to model the pseudo-negative class and to regularize the
network to learn meaningful feature representations for one class data,
respectively. The overall network is trained using a combination of the
cross-entropy and the reconstruction error losses. A key feature of the
proposed approach is that any pre-trained CNN can be used as the base network
for one class classification. Effectiveness of the proposed framework is
demonstrated using three publically available face-based active authentication
datasets and it is shown that the proposed method achieves superior performance
compared to the traditional one class classification methods. The source code

Quadratic Projection Based Feature Extraction with Its Application to Biometric Recognition
This paper presents a novel quadratic projection based feature extraction
framework, where a set of quadratic matrices is learned to distinguish each
class from all other classes. We formulate quadratic matrix learning (QML) as a
standard semidefinite programming (SDP) problem. However, the con- ventional
interior-point SDP solvers do not scale well to the problem of QML for
high-dimensional data. To solve the scalability of QML, we develop an efficient
algorithm, termed DualQML, based on the Lagrange duality theory, to extract
nonlinear features. To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the
proposed framework, we conduct extensive experiments on biometric recognition.
Experimental results on three representative biometric recogni- tion tasks,
including face, palmprint, and ear recognition, demonstrate the superiority of
the DualQML-based feature extraction algorithm compared to the current
state-of-the-art algorithm
Multimodal person recognition for human-vehicle interaction
Next-generation vehicles will undoubtedly feature biometric person recognition as part of an effort to improve the driving experience. Today's technology prevents such systems from operating satisfactorily under adverse conditions. A proposed framework for achieving person recognition successfully combines different biometric modalities, borne out in two case studies
A Robust Image Hashing Algorithm Resistant Against Geometrical Attacks
This paper proposes a robust image hashing method which is robust against common image processing attacks and geometric distortion attacks. In order to resist against geometric attacks, the log-polar mapping (LPM) and contourlet transform are employed to obtain the low frequency sub-band image. Then the sub-band image is divided into some non-overlapping blocks, and low and middle frequency coefficients are selected from each block after discrete cosine transform. The singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied in each block to obtain the first digit of the maximum singular value. Finally, the features are scrambled and quantized as the safe hash bits. Experimental results show that the algorithm is not only resistant against common image processing attacks and geometric distortion attacks, but also discriminative to content changes
