🩺 Finger Vein Feature Extractor using MobileNet
This pretrained model is designed for finger vein recognition. It uses a MobileNet-based feature extractor trained on finger images to extract deep biometric features.
🔧 How It Works:
- The model first extracts features from finger vein images using MobileNet.
- These features are then used to form image pairs.
- A deep neural network (e.g. Siamese) is trained on these pairs to learn a similarity metric.
- Finally, the system classifies whether two finger vein images belong to the same person or not.
📦 Use Cases:
- 🔐 Biometric authentication systems
- 🔍 Finger vein matching or verification
- 🧬 Medical/Forensic identification tasks
🖼️ Input:
- RGB finger vein image (resized to 224×224)
- Normalized to [0, 1]
📤 Output:
- Feature vector (if using encoder only)
- Or: Match / No-match decision (in Siamese setup)
