Optimizing Biometric Recognition with PPG Signals: A Comparative Study of Deep Learning Models and 2D Conversion Techniques
摘要
The integration of liveness detection mechanisms in biometric systems is crucial for countering spoofing attacks, enhancing security, and optimizing lifestyle applications. This study explores the utilization of Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals for this purpose, leveraging their inherent liveness properties and cost-effectiveness. In the preprocessing stage, PPG signals of an online dataset is transformed into three different conversion methods, such as PPG signal representation, spectrograms, and Gram matrices. Five diverse models, ResNet50V2, DenseNet201, EfficientNetV2_B0, ConvNextBase, and an EfficientNetV2_B0 model with LSTM integration were training on the online dataset to be able to choose the best conversion technique into two dimensional format with the best model for biometric recognition. Remarkably high accuracies were achieved across multiple models on the online dataset, with the standout performer being the EfficientNetV2_B0 model integrated with LSTM, employing Gram matrix as a conversion technique which achieve 99% for the testing accuracy. This holistic approach has not only deepened our understanding of PPG signal processing but also highlighted the potential of deep learning models in future advancements in biometric identification and beyond.
