Abstract
As an emerging biometric technology, multi-spectral palmprint recognition has attracted increasing attention in security due to its high accuracy and ease of use. Compared to single spectral case, multi-spectral palmprint model is more susceptible to the attack of adversarial examples. However, the previous adversarial example attack approaches cannot generate the most aggressive adversarial examples for multi-spectral palmprint recognition. In addition, most of them are dependent on the explicit architecture or need time-consuming queries about the network to be attacked, which significantly limits their application in the field of security. To solve the above problems, in this paper, we proposed the multi-spectral palmprints joint attack and defense framework based on multi-view adversarial examples learning. First, we respectively capture the multi-view deep common feature space for the different spectra and the discriminative feature space across the different subjects. Second, we introduce perturbation in the deep common space to achieve adversarial multi-spectral palmprints with gradient propagation. In addition, we pursue the manifold of the difference space and use it to suppress the discriminability of the recognition model with adversarial region theory. Finally, the generated adversarial examples are fed into the training model to enhance the robustness of the recognition algorithm. The experimental results on multi-spectral palmprint dataset demonstrate that the proposed multi-view joint attack approach is superior to the state-of-the-art adversarial example attack methods in attack accuracy and transferability. Moreover, the defense strategy with the adversarial examples by our method can significantly promote the robustness of multi-spectral palmprint recognition methods.
