Residual Feature Pyramid Network for Enhancement of Vascular Patterns [PDF]
The accuracy of finger vein recognition systems gets degraded due to low and uneven contrast between veins and surroundings, often resulting in poor detection of vein patterns. We propose a finger-vein enhancement technique, ResFPN (Residual Feature Pyramid Network), as a generic preprocessing method agnostic to the recognition pipeline.

Opto-UNet: Optimized UNet for Segmentation of Varicose Veins in Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
Human veins are important for carrying the blood from the body-parts to the heart. The improper functioning of the human veins may arise from several venous diseases. Varicose vein is one such disease wherein back flow of blood can occur, often resulting in increased venous pressure or restricted blood flow due to changes in the structure of vein.
