TSCAN: Teacher-Student Co-Learning Adaptive Network for Cross-Device Palmprint Recognition
摘要
With the rapid development of biometrics, palmprint recognition, due to uniqueness, non-contact and high security, is a core intelligent authentication technology. However, cross-device domain shift from hardware differences and complex environments degrades recognition accuracy and stability. To address this, we propose TSCAN, a teacher-student co-learning network for cross- device palmprint recognition. It introduces adaface loss to adjust classification boundaries, tackling poor discriminability in low-quality images. A teacher- student framework with pseudo-label transmission and EMA updates enables learning unlabeled target domain data. Adversarial learning combined with GRL aligns source and target feature distributions. Experiments on XJTU-UP show that TSCAN improves recognition accuracy by 7.5% in four cross-device scenarios and reduces EER by 8.5% compared to the baseline, and excellent generalization across target domains, validating its practical value in intelligent authentication.
