- 用25Hz多通道脉搏波信号+双向LSTM注意力模型,4秒内提取身份特征。
- 在26人数据集上达到88.11%准确率,误认率仅0.48%,误拒率11.77%。
- 采样率降至25Hz可省电53%,且比128或512Hz更节能,适合穿戴设备。
利用生理信号进行生物识别为可穿戴设备提供了安全且用户友好的访问控制路径。尽管心电图(ECG)具有高区分度,但其侵入式传感和非连续采集限制了实用性。光体积变化描记法(PPG)则能实现无创、连续的认证,便于集成到腕戴设备中。然而,以往工作多依赖高频PPG(如75–500 Hz)和复杂深度模型,带来显著能耗与计算开销,阻碍了在资源受限系统中的部署。本文首次在真实智能手表We-Be Band上实现并评估基于低频(25 Hz)多通道PPG的持续认证系统。方法采用带注意力机制的双向LSTM,从4秒短窗口的四通道PPG中提取身份特征。在公开数据集PTTPPG和自建We-Be Dataset(26名受试者)上评估,平均测试准确率达88.11%,宏平均F1为0.88,误认率(FAR)0.48%,误拒率(FRR)11.77%,等错误率(EER)2.76%。25 Hz系统相较512 Hz降低53%传感器功耗,较128 Hz降低19%而不影响性能。发现25 Hz仍保持认证精度,而20 Hz时性能骤降,仅节省微弱功耗,故25 Hz为实用下限。此外,仅用静息数据训练的模型在运动中失效,活动多样化的训练可提升跨生理状态鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Biometric authentication using physiological signals offers a promising path toward secure and user-friendly access control in wearable devices. While electrocardiogram (ECG) signals have shown high discriminability, their intrusive sensing requirements and discontinuous acquisition limit practicality. Photoplethysmography (PPG), on the other hand, enables continuous, non-intrusive authentication with seamless integration into wrist-worn wearable devices. However, most prior work relies on high-frequency PPG (e.g., 75 - 500 Hz) and complex deep models, which incur significant energy and computational overhead, impeding deployment in power-constrained real-world systems. In this paper, we present the first real-world implementation and evaluation of a continuous authentication system on a smartwatch, We-Be Band, using low-frequency (25 Hz) multi-channel PPG signals. Our method employs a Bi-LSTM with attention mechanism to extract identity-specific features from short (4 s) windows of 4-channel PPG. Through extensive evaluations on both public datasets (PTTPPG) and our We-Be Dataset (26 subjects), we demonstrate strong classification performance with an average test accuracy of 88.11%, macro F1-score of 0.88, False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of 0.48%, False Rejection Rate (FRR) of 11.77%, and Equal Error Rate (EER) of 2.76%. Our 25 Hz system reduces sensor power consumption by 53% compared to 512 Hz and 19% compared to 128 Hz setups without compromising performance. We find that sampling at 25 Hz preserves authentication accuracy, whereas performance drops sharply at 20 Hz while offering only trivial additional power savings, underscoring 25 Hz as the practical lower bound. Additionally, we find that models trained exclusively on resting data fail under motion, while activity-diverse training improves robustness across physiological states.
