Query: Texture Aware Autoencoder Pre-training And Pairwise Learning Refinement
  For Improved Iris Recognition   This paper presents a texture aware end-to-end trainable iris recognition
system, specifically designed for datasets like iris having limited training
data. We build upon our previous stagewise learning framework with certain key
optimization and architectural innovations. First, we pretrain a Stage-1
encoder network with an unsupervised autoencoder learning optimized with an
additional data relation loss on top of usual reconstruction loss. The data
relation loss enables learning better texture representation which is pivotal
for a texture rich dataset such as iris. Robustness of Stage-1 feature
representation is further enhanced with an auxiliary denoising task. Such
pre-training proves beneficial for effectively training deep networks on data
constrained iris datasets. Next, in Stage-2 supervised refinement, we design a
pairwise learning architecture for an end-to-end trainable iris recognition
system. The pairwise learning includes the task of iris matching inside the
training pipeline itself and results in significant improvement in recognition
performance compared to usual offline matching. We validate our model across
three publicly available iris datasets and the proposed model consistently
outperforms both traditional and deep learning baselines for both
Within-Dataset and Cross-Dataset configurations
