| Abstract | Periocular recognition has gained attention in the last years thanks to its high discrimination capabilities in less constraint scenarios than face or iris. In this paper we propose a method for periocular verification under different light spectra using CNN features with the particularity that the network has not been trained for this purpose. We use a ResNet-101 pretrained model for the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge to extract features from the IIITD Multispectral Periocular Database. At each layer the features are compared using χ 2 distance and cosine similitude to carry on verification between images, achieving an improvement in the EER and accuracy at 1% FAR of up to 63.13% and 24.79% in comparison to previous works that employ the same database. In addition to this, we train a neural network to match the best CNN feature layer vector from each spectrum. With this procedure, we achieve improvements of up to 65% (EER) and 87% (accuracy at 1% FAR) in cross-spectral verification with respect to previous studies. |
