A major challenge with palm vein images is that slight movements of the fingers and thumb, or variations in hand posture, can stretch the skin in different areas and alter the vein patterns.

As a temporal encoding scheme for SNNs, Time-To-First-Spike (TTFS) encodes information using the timing of a single spike, which allows spiking neurons to transmit information through sparse spike trains and results in lower power consumption and higher computational efficiency compared to traditional rate-based encoding counterparts.

In STDBP algorithm, the timing of individual spikes is used to convey information (temporal coding), and learning (back-propagation) is performed based on spike timing in an event-driven manner.
