""" Relational Positional Encoding (RPE). For every pair of minutiae (i, j) we compute a 7-dim geometric relation vector and project it through a small MLP to obtain a learned embedding: rᵢⱼ = [Δxᵢⱼ, Δyᵢⱼ, dᵢⱼ, cos(αᵢⱼ), sin(αᵢⱼ), cos(Δθᵢⱼ), sin(Δθᵢⱼ)] ∈ ℝ⁷ PE(i,j) = MLP_rel(rᵢⱼ) ∈ ℝᵈ Rationale for each component: (Δx, Δy) Raw displacement — translation-invariant by construction: (xⱼ+t) − (xᵢ+t) = xⱼ − xᵢ. Lets the MLP learn any spatial pattern from relative position. dᵢⱼ Explicit Euclidean distance. Although the MLP could learn √(Δx²+Δy²), providing it explicitly accelerates convergence — the model doesn't have to "reinvent" the concept of distance. (cos α, sin α) Direction angle from minutia i to j on the plane. Combined with d, this gives a complete polar-coordinate representation of relative position. (cos Δθ, sin Δθ) Difference in ridge orientation — the most biometrically discriminative feature. Two minutiae at the same distance but different Δθ are very different fingerprint evidence. Using (cos, sin) handles angle periodicity correctly.
