AGVBench: A Reliability-Oriented Benchmark of Data Augmentation for Vein Recognition

- 构建5个公开数据集+7种模型的评测框架,系统测试30种增强策略。
- 多图混合方法(如MixUp)提升识别率但易受对抗攻击,安全与精度不一致。
- 几何变换常导致性能下降,适用于不同静脉数据集的策略需差异化设计。
静脉识别是一种安全生物特征技术,常受限于标注数据少和成像差异。尽管数据增强可缓解此问题,但为自然图像设计的方法可能破坏身份区分所需的细微拓扑与纹理。我们提出AGVBench,评估30种代表性增强策略在五个公开掌纹与指静脉数据集上,使用七种骨干网络(包括经典CNN、视觉变换器及专用静脉模型)。结果表明,多图混合方法(如MixUp、PuzzleMix、StarMixup)通常带来最佳识别性能,但普遍校准不足且易受对抗扰动,暴露出纯净准确率与对抗安全性之间的显著矛盾。同时发现严重几何变换常导致性能下降,可能源于特征错位或空间裁剪;且增强效果在掌纹与指静脉数据集中存在差异。这些发现证明仅以准确率为评价标准不足以支撑生物特征增强研究。AGVBench提供标准化协议,支持可复现研究,指导可靠、安全、鲁棒的静脉识别系统设计。代码库已开源:https://github.com/Advance-VeinTech-Innovators/AGVBench。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Vein recognition is a secure biometric technology often constrained by limited annotated data and imaging variations. While data augmentation mitigates this, strategies designed for natural images may disrupt the fine-grained topology and textures essential for identity discrimination. We present AGVBench, which evaluates 30 representative augmentation strategies on five public palm- and finger-vein datasets with seven backbone architectures, covering classic CNNs, vision transformers, and vein-specific recognition models. Our results show that multi-image mixing methods (e.g., MixUp, PuzzleMix, StarMixup) generally provide the strongest recognition performance. However, they are often poorly calibrated and vulnerable to adversarial perturbations, revealing a clear inconsistency between clean accuracy and adversarial security. We also find that severe geometric transformations frequently degrade recognition, which is potentially due to feature misalignment or spatial cropping, and that augmentation effectiveness varies across palm and finger vein datasets. These findings prove that accuracy-centric evaluation is insufficient for biometric augmentation. AGVBench provides standardized protocols to support reproducible research and guide the design of reliable, secure, and robust vein recognition systems.
