Title: Breaking Barriers in Biometrics: Crafting Powerful Deep Neural Networks for Precise Synthesis of Massive-Scale Datasets
Abstract: Deep neural network models are the cornerstone of cutting-edge AI algorithms for the biometrics-based identification of humans. However, training these models to achieve accuracy requires large, high-quality biometric databases. Unfortunately, recent privacy regulations such as GDPR have limited the acquisition and sharing of such databases, hindering biometric technology advancement. Fortunately, generative adversarial network (GAN) methods have proven effective in synthesizing biometric image databases. In this talk, we will discuss the limitations of current GAN-based models and introduce our own framework, which can synthesize large-scale biometric image datasets with unparalleled accuracy. Our framework specifically targets the generation of the intricate face and contactless fingerprint images, and we will share the most advanced results during the presentation.
