Abstract
A scanner acquires a set of images of a hand of a user to facilitate identification. These images may vary, due to changes in relative position, pose, lighting, obscuring objects such as a sleeve, and so forth. A first neural network determines output data comprising a spatial mask and a feature map for individual images in the set. The output data for two or more images is combined to provide aggregate data that is representative of the two or more images. The aggregate data may then be processed using a second neural network, such as convolutional neural network, to determine an embedding vector. The embedding vector may be stored and associated with a user account. At a later time, images acquired from the scanner may be processed to produce an embedding vector that is compared to the stored embedding vector to identify a user at the scanner.
