“…2) Comparison to the state-of-the-art methods For the UoM-SGFSv2 set A and B, we report the performance of our DAEN with the EP(+PCA) [47], ET(+PCA) [48], D-RS+CBR [49], LGMS [50], DEEPS [9], SP-Net [36], Identity-aware CycleGAN [29], and Transfer deep feature learning [37] methods in Table 5, LGMS are traditional inter-modality methods, the Identityaware CycleGAN is a deep-learning intra-modality method, the DEEPS, SP-Net, and Transfer deep feature learning methods are deep-learning inter-modality methods. As we can see from Table 5, Table 6 and Figure 10, Figure 11, the proposed DAEN achieves the highest accuracy, and the performance of all methods is lower on the more challenging UoM-SGFSv2 set A.…”
