ProtoN: Prototype Node Graph Neural Network for Unconstrained Multi-Impression Ear Recognition

  • 构建类内图结构,融合多印象与可学习原型节点
  • 达99.60%识别率,错误率低至0.025%
  • 适合数据稀缺场景下的生物特征识别研究

耳部生物特征提供了一种稳定且非接触的身份识别方式,但受限于标注数据稀少和类内差异大。现有方法通常孤立提取单张图像的特征,难以捕捉一致且有区分性的表示。为此,提出一种少样本学习框架ProtoN,通过图结构联合处理同一身份的多张印象图像。每张印象作为节点,结合可学习原型节点构成类特定图,由专为双路径消息传递设计的原型图神经网络(PGNN)层优化节点与原型表示。通过跨图原型对齐策略增强类间分离性,保持类内紧凑性。采用混合损失函数平衡阶段性与全局分类目标,优化嵌入空间结构。在五个基准耳部数据集上的实验表明,ProtoN达到顶尖性能,最高秩1识别准确率达99.60%,等错误率(EER)低至0.025%,验证了其在有限数据条件下的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Ear biometrics offer a stable and contactless modality for identity recognition, yet their effectiveness remains limited by the scarcity of annotated data and significant intra-class variability. Existing methods typically extract identity features from individual impressions in isolation, restricting their ability to capture consistent and discriminative representations. To overcome these limitations, a few-shot learning framework, ProtoN, is proposed to jointly process multiple impressions of an identity using a graph-based approach. Each impression is represented as a node in a class-specific graph, alongside a learnable prototype node that encodes identity-level information. This graph is processed by a Prototype Graph Neural Network (PGNN) layer, specifically designed to refine both impression and prototype representations through a dual-path message-passing mechanism. To further enhance discriminative power, the PGNN incorporates a cross-graph prototype alignment strategy that improves class separability by enforcing intra-class compactness while maintaining inter-class distinction. Additionally, a hybrid loss function is employed to balance episodic and global classification objectives, thereby improving the overall structure of the embedding space. Extensive experiments on five benchmark ear datasets demonstrate that ProtoN achieves state-of-the-art performance, with Rank-1 identification accuracy of up to 99.60% and an Equal Error Rate (EER) as low as 0.025, showing the effectiveness for few-shot ear recognition under limited data conditions.
